In America is costs about $30,000 a year to house an inmate. Here is the alternative....
Cost of airfare to China = $525 one way
Annual imprisonment bill from Chinese = $ 375 per year
Savings to American tax payer = Priceless

Besides, the Liberals would never go for it. The Chinese have no quams over executing criminals post haste and with no pomp or circumstance. A bullet to the back of the head. Barbara and Hillary would go absolutely berserk!!![:D]
Air fare to China might not be that much now, but with increased flights and the resulting demand for fuel, the price of transit would increase quite a bit.
So forget about flying them there.
But I'm pretty sure making our prisoners swim there would be free.[:D]
Let's think about this rationally...

Ooooooohhhhh! But aren't the waters shark-infested????[}:)]
have a "way" about them.
Can you say civil rights violation?
Convicts don't need no stinkin civil rights. Civil rights are for sissies. We are discussing JUSTICE....[8D]
...and the downside is?
I suspect the most powerful unions in America today is the municipal and governmental employee unions.
You got it! And all Democratic supported, of course. I wonder how long it will be before Congress is unionized?

They're too cheap to pay the dues.

You might want to read the Constitution, it's amendments, and the Bill of Rights.
I have read them all. Several times. Does not say outsourcing prisons is a violation per se. I suspect we could contract for providing their constitutional rights and no cruel and unusual punishment etc.
I think it would be great to provide the perverts and drug dealers with Chinese internet and TV. Heck we could even provide them a Chinese law library -- should only take up about one shelf.[}:)]
The more I think about this idea the more I like it.[;)]
