    Oh boy, let me tell you about pay-for-stay.

    At $249 per day, prison stays leave ex-inmates deep in debt - AP News (2022)

    Essentially, that already happens. They get charged for rent. And food. And medical care. And whatever else can be charged.

    I know you're not being serious, but for the sake of the argument, if we're going to force a person, against their will, to be in a certain place for a certain amount of time then we should have to cover all the basic needs that that person may have.
