JUST COMMIT CRIME IN ORDER TO ESCAPE GRINDING POVERTY !
" Who says crime doesn’t pay? Certainly not the Indian penal system. According to a TOI report, the public money spent on prisoners in Indian jails is much more than the estimated expenditure that people living in rural areas, on an average, spend on food, clothing and medical needs.
Official data show that people in jails cost the exchequer, on an average, Rs 30,000 a year. In comparison, the annual consumption expenditure in rural India is only just over Rs 17,000.
This implies that if you are a law-abiding citizen of village India you’d be far worse off than if you got yourself sent to prison. Indeed, if you are lucky enough, or smart enough, to get yourself into a Delhi jail or one in Telangana you’d be living in the equivalent of five-star comfort. Both Delhi and Telangana have the highest per capita jail expenditure in the country, amounting to over Rs 80,000 per prisoner per year".
