Не все скоты равны между собой, некоторые равнее
Sitting at a picnic table under azure skies last fall, a 37-year-old onetime CEO of a financial services company contemplated his good fortune.
Sure, he was surrounded by a barbed wire fence, and lunch was frozen hot dogs and string beans being thawed in a bare-bones kitchen. But the alternative was Orange County jail, where he would be warehoused in barracks with hundreds of others, where alliances ran along racial lines and fights broke out daily.
Jack, who asked to be identified by his nickname because his young children thought he’s in New York on an extended business trip, was paying $100 a night for the privilege of serving his 90-day sentence for driving under the influence of heroin in Seal Beach’s pay-to-stay jail.
“This is like paradise,” the Orange County man said.
He got a taste of the more typical jail experience when he served his first 17 days in Orange County’s Theo Lacy Jail. He said his defense attorney was able to get the case transferred to a different judge and get him pay-to-stay jail for the remainder of his sentence.
He handed over a $7,300 cashier’s check without hesitation. Here in Seal Beach, he was sharing his quarters with three 20-somethings. There was a large selection of DVDs and books, the hot water never ran out, and he was treated like a human being, he said.
In the marketplace of jail beds for rent in Southern California, Seal Beach has gained a reputation as the go-to jail for many deep-pocketed offenders.

В Америке есть и комфортабельные тюрьмы, а не просто палатки посреди аризонской пустыни. Однако, сидят в них не случайные люди, а те, кто может это оплатить. 100 долларов в день и будешь сидеть не в переполненном бараке, где постоянно кого-то избивают и насилуют, а в комнате на 4 чуваков, с горячей водой, телевизором с набором дисков и с тобой будут обращаться как с человеком. Короче, вопрос только в бабле. И да, сперва нужно занести адвокату, который сделает так, что б твоё дело попало нужному судье (то есть он должен ему тоже занести) - вот тогда всё нормалёк.
