Inmates received $1.3 billion in covid-19 stimulus checks, including those serving life sentences

Internal data provided by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) details how President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan paid out COVID-19 stimulus checks totaling at least $1.3 billion to more than 1.1 million prison inmates.

A massive amount, nearly 163,000 people, are serving life sentences without a possibility of parole. “The American Rescue Plan was reckless in the amount of massive spending with no off-sets,” the Nebraska Republican told The Washington Free Beacon.

“Giving stimulus checks to death row inmates is a glaring example. This bill triggered the worst inflation in 41 years, costing the average family $500 a month. The poor suffer the most.”

The American Rescue plan was derived and intended to distribute payments for people earning $75,000 or less or married couples with incomes up to $150,000.

However, that did not stop “cash payments for prisoners, after Senate Democrats voted by 50-49 against an amendment proposed by Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., to block the checks from going to inmates” reports Newsmax.

The Washington Free Beacon obtained a copy of the letter, in which IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig said that his agency does not possess data on how many of those individuals with life sentences who got stimulus money may also be facing the death penalty.

Newsmax adds:

Last year, Bacon and Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., warned that the American Rescue Plan, or President Joe Biden’s nearly $2 trillion stimulus package, did not include appropriate limits.

One of the $1,400 stimulus checks went to Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, leading Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler to apologize for awarding Cotton with “two Pinocchios” over his comments on the checks.
