Are there no debtors prisons?*

It says something horrible about our society when Salt Lake County trims it budget drastically, but reopens a prison. Too many criminals, not enough love? You got me.

One hundred and twenty-three jobs will be cut from the county's budget. It's comforting to know that if those jobless folks resort to crime in desperation — we have a place to put them.

*Scrooge's actual quote was: "Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses? Let them go there!"
