Abusername brought an apt point- the “average” bank robbery bets just between $5000-7000. In comparison- robbing a store averages about $1200. But beyond that- going to prison isn’t the end of your rent and bill worries. All your recurring bills are still there as are any rent contracts you signed. Prison doesn’t invalidate those. You very likely no longer have a source of regular and sufficient income, so savings and other assets are your only source of money, and now you need to find someone who can see to your financial affairs while you’re in jail- close accounts and stop auto pay and the like. Settle up debts and etc. and you have to do this and likely grant them power of attorney- from inside prison using the resources and time you have in jail- meaning something that is a couple hours and a short drive normally can take weeks or months of back and forth to the prison.

Beyond that- some of those bad debts or broken contracts may be waiting for you when you get out of prison as legal actions you’ll have to fight or resolve when released. You may likely have issues finding gainful employment upon release, and your credit may we’ll be wrecked if you had it to start- meaning your financial woes will likely continue for some time after leaving prison. You also might have to pay for restitution, you may owe legal fees and other services, court fines or fees, and so forth.

While you are in prison- you don’t have to worry so much about starvation- but as for food- you may still have some worries. Prison food isn’t the best and sometimes is questionably safe. Then there’s the fact that while not super common- other prisoners may take or compel you to give them portions of your food. As for bills- beyond any that exist on the outside, you have your “commissary” which is an account used to buy items at a sort of “store” prisons have. Asides certain luxury items- many hygienic goods and such are terrible or given in carry small quantities in prison- so prisoners must buy what they need at the commissary.

Many women’s prisons may offer only pads, and sometimes they only allocate a few pads a month per woman. The pads are also the “one ply office toilet paper” of pads- not sufficient for heavier flows, and lacking proper adhesion to stay in place on the thin prison underwear. Better pads, and where available tampons, usually have to come from the commissary and are sold in small packs at marked up prices in general. Not having the $6-10 for a tampon and bleeding all down your legs in court is something that has actually happened (and their are legal casss on the issue.)

And yes. Legal cases. You may have appeals, divorce, child custody, you may need to fight unfair or abusive treatment while behind bars. Legal and other fees for this can also cause bill distress. So.... not even hail can escape money troubles, and a successful bank Robert won’t even buy you a 10 year old Honda most likely let alone set you up for a year.
