As for the $500 dollars paid by the offender, would you rather have taxpayers pay? Surely you aren't so naive to think that this can be provided for free. Do you go to work for free everyday? Further, how much do you think an offender will pay if they go on to trial and get put on probation or sent to prison? And how much will taxpayers pay if either of those options come into play?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-58136063094571719932011-10-14T11:14:53.040-05:002011-10-14T11:14:53.040-05:0007:59- Where did you hear that employers are not h...07:59- Where did you hear that employers are not having problems finding employees in Odessa/Midland?

No longer the case. Asking many of these offenders to come up with $500? They need to implement some kind of alternative for those who can't. Another revenue producer?ckikerintuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670661043872744115noreply@blogger.com
