Prisoners stole millions from the IRS in 2009
Prisoners in Florida, Georgia and California lead the nation's inmate population in scamming payments from an unlikely benefactor: the IRS.

By Jon Elswick, AP
The IRS issued $39.1 million in undeserved federal tax refunds to jail and prison inmates, according to data.

Seemingly proving the adage that crime pays, even behind bars, prisoners in the three states received nearly $19 million in IRS refunds during 2009 after filing false or fraudulent tax returns, according to an IRS report to Congress that was included in a federal audit

2. Start with the illegal wars and the no-bid contracts...

...then worry about a paltry $19 million with this prison shit.

Priorities. You're doing it wrong.

Edited to add that I mean the government is doing it wrong -- not the OP.

3. The real criminals are not behind bars
the ones that destroyed the economy. They are collecting bonuses on Wall Street.
