A family paid 72K for sons comfortable jail cell in Southern California. In certain areas they offer what are called “Pay to Stay” cells in Anaheim, Burbank, Pasadena and a few other places. With rates from $127 to $143 a night. Though these are no hotel rooms. They match this pay to the amount of jail time you have to serve. For every day you want to live in comfort your family is paying for your luxury. You would think with all that money they would just be able to get bailed out.
That led me to believe , these high end fancy rooms are offered to the kind of people they presume will be staying a while. Offering nice gyms and DVD players it makes your realize there is no equal rights for the lower class. I figured it was for long term stays but I was wrong. In Orange County a family paid $72K to keep son in upgraded jail cell after he killed girl while drunk driving, only getting 2 years in prison.
I’m sure other jail mates are jealous of these fancy rooms so you would think these pay-to-stay cells would have high security but not so much. Guards say these areas are rarely closed. I would understand if this family had to deal with their kid staying for a long period of time. But this particular family paid 72k for sons comfortable jail cell for only 2 years. Including a basketball hoop , and a couch seems like a stay at the Hilton for the convicted Felons. Refusing an interview after serving time , these findings are leaving people outraged. Arguments of lack of equal opportunity when it comes to wealth has been an ongoing issue for years, and looks like it will continue to do so.
