The problem for Pussy Riot when Vladimir Putin let them go to prison for a relatively minor stunt was they could not buy an upgrade to their accommodations for $100 a night. See, that's one of the ways America is better than Russia; if you don't like it in prison and you have the money, you can buy an upgrade for a better room with better food. (CNN: What $100 can buy you in jail might surprise you)
The story also details some of what the inmates get in return for $100 a night: flat screen TVs, a computer and media room, and new beds. As recently as 2013, the city of Seal Beach took out an ad in a local weekly paper touting the amenities that come with its pay-to-stay program.
The program is offered to all citizens who have been sentenced by the court and are allowed to serve their time in a city jail.

It should be noted Seal Beach is also producing glossy, color brochures for their prisons and they will soon be offering slightly-reduced rates via Priceline to those who wish to make reservations early.
A former police officer who pleaded guilty to stalking and harassing his ex paid $32,000 for 272 days and was able to leave most days to work as a security guard and teach fitness classes.

Feel the love from the Forefathers as you bask in the freedom only America provides.
Ed: he's not supposed to be free. He's supposed to be in prison. Besides, what cop with $34,000 in discretionary income isn't as dirty as the New York City narcotics squad.
Today we're happy when cops are only financially corrupt since maybe that means they haven't murdered anyone yet.
As for the pay-to-stay accommodations in places like Seal Beach, the system will continue to have its harsh and vocal critics -- until the teenage son of one of those critics has a drunk driving accident. Then it's time to drain the retirement fund to get their precious little boy out of LA County Jail and into Seal Beach.

CNN goes on to tell us it's not such a terrible thing if the state does this but, wtf, CNN sold out to the state even faster than Mark Zuckerberg.
