To deal with the crowded conditions, Arizona has been sending prisoners to other states at a premium, which Rep. David Schapira, D-Tempe, said hurts taxpayers. The cost per day to house an inmate jumps from $53 to as much as $70 if the inmate is sent to another state.
In other EV legislator coverage this week, LD8's Rep. Michele Reagan (R-Scottsdale) announced that she is preparing a bill concerning the use of photo radar on state freeways (courtesy EV Trib):
Rep. Michele Reagan, RScottsdale, said she is drafting a bill to prohibit any profit from a freeway enforcement program to be deposited into a city or a state General Fund, which has no spending restrictions. Reagan said her proposal would equally disperse the profits to the DPS equipment fund, the Criminal Justice Enhancement Fund and the state crime lab.
