Prisoners staying under lock and key at a halfway house in Bermuda have just found out they will have to pay about US$400 per month in rent.
The Transitional Living Centre, TLC, which houses inmates who are coming to the end of their sentences, has traditionally been free.
Up to a dozen inmates currently stay at the TLC. However, the prison officials said that the charges were introduced in order to teach financial responsibility. The prisoners participate in day release programs.
Robert Horton, permanent secretary for Home Affairs, said previous residents squandered their cash on drugs and gambling and struggled to cope with the financial realities of the outside world.

DEPENDS
The ones that caught up by being in the wrong place at the wrong time or was fasely imprisioned; I sympathzied with them. There are some people that deserves to be locked up ( rapist, murders ). Some people see prision as a second home ( especially here in the U.S.A) . If they can pay rent for their first home; Why not pay rent for their second home?.

GET TIME!!! PAY THE PRICE!!!
I think it is a good idea to let them work to the MAX and pay bills. I was recently watching a program about inmates. I couldn't tell the difference. They have so much luxury. I mean well equipted gym, boxing tournament,schools,massive cabled tv room, three square meals. No wonder some of them keep going back. I once watched a program where an inmate said that his best spent life was in prision. They go in looking MESS up and come out looking like HUNKS (muscles and all ).

I wont take away you opinion from you but I will say this, we seem to measure wealth in Money alone, However I think the Prisoners who are youg Men, are very rich, they have health and strength and they can put that to good use. The Bible says, youg Men I call upon you because you are strong. Help somebody in a good way with your strength and you will be paid for it. Life is not a bed of Roses and if it looks like it is, it might be thorns when you lay on it but there is reward in labour.

Nuthin wrong witrh that..
Im bermudian, and i agree they should have to pay rent. Bermuda is a place where u will NOT survive if u don't have money and if u don't know how to manage it properly! they wud easily wind up poor and back on the streets and are more likely to relapse n end back in prison. As far as them makin the money that wouldn't be too hard cuz, thier workin n $400 comes easy here.

Prisoners Paying Rent
Reading the article, it sounds like a good idea, they have to learn the realaties of economics, money dont grow on Trees. On the other hand where do they get this Money to pay Rent and can they be employed after leaving Prison.
