It is being reported by the ACLU that California Prisoners are being paid $1.45 a day…

Now the questions are coming forward about what is a fair wage for a prisoner?

ACLU is saying that the prisoners deserve a wage comparable to the firefighters. ACLU also states the prisoners deserve the rights that every hard working non-criminal citizens have.

Now I am not sure about you, but I think that is ludicrous. To actually imply that a citizen who has worked their entire life and keep their nose out of trouble does not deserve a better pay wage then a prisoner who is still incarcerated. To actually even imply that statement, let alone lobby for the rights of prisoners on this subject. Who are these people at the ACLU who keep churning along to get criminals better rights and benefits then our Veterans or Senior citizens have? Prisoners have more rights then most considering they are in prison for crimes they have committed.

Some tax payers of California say they should not have to pay them a dime. They should be working for all the housing, food and medical they are receiving.

That’s fine, I can see their reasoning. The California Tax payers Pay $75,563 a Year per prisoner. When you add it all up no wonder California is not flush financially.

Perhaps all states should be using their prisoner population for natural disaster recovery efforts.

My next set of questions are:

• How soon do you deploy the prisoners?
• At the onset of disaster?
• When the fire dies down?
• Or when the fire is so out of control you start to look at your resources?
• What has happened to the financial resources from Federal funds?
• Where and what was that money spent on?
• Why was it not spent on forest management?

Only Governor Jerry Brown would know these facts, since the money goes to each state directly. What happened to all the money collected from the lottery? And why wait so long to shift gears and break out every resource you have?

Governor Jerry Brown has been Governor of California since 2011. In 2012 was the first city to claim bankruptcy in California. Bankruptcy continues to take City by City to this day. Making California one of the poorest states, which was once one of the richest states.

GOD BLESS CALIFORNIA
