Fremont prison offers ‘quieter’ prison stay — for cash

“Perhaps money can’t buy you love. But in one Alameda County jail, it can buy you a comfier stay. The Fremont police department now offers a ‘pay-to-stay’ option for inmates who wish to stay in its facilities to avoid the rowdier county jails of Oakland or Dublin. For $155 a day, inmates ordered to short jail stints can opt to stay in the ‘smaller, quieter’ Fremont facility away from the county jail population, said Lt. Mark Devine, who oversees the program. Include the one-time fee of $45, and the cost is similar to that of a three-star hotel.  The $10.6 million facility features an open community space with a large flat-screen HDTV and recreational tables with board games.”
