Sure, but they gotta care enough to pay for that. Livin' in America shoulda been enough to teach you how people feel about payin' for other people's well-being. Payin' for prisoners' well-being.

[ There's a reason that Cadens reminds Julie so strongly of America. It's the same cold, self-interested bullshit from all angles. From the people who would protest a tax hike to the government who would rather pocket the cash. The same strong sense that prisoners deserve the ill treatment they get.

Julie honestly doesn't care much one way or the other. As long as it doesn't affect her directly. ]

And who else needs your kinda help? [ Her head cocks to one side, green eyes fixed curiously on him. A dark sense of curiosity. ] Not that I'm an expert on the law or nothin', but I always got the sense that they ain't as concerned with rehabilitation as we were back home.

[ Which is to say that she's pretty sure the concept of justice in Cadens isn't much concerned with whether a sentence is fair. Crazies hang just like normal folks. ]
