20 Shocking facts you didn’t know about China (With Pictures)

2. Jail Time Is Bought

Every year in China 600,000 die from simply being overworked. The Chinese suicide rate is twice that of the USA. Life is not a pretty picture for millions of souls. So if some rich guy wants to pay you to serve his jail time for him, you might take him seriously. The ruse begins at the initial court hearing when the imposter shows up in place of the real criminal and the authorities simply turn a blind eye. And once you’re in jail, there is another way out. If inmates can invent something technologically viable, they can shorten their sentence. Here’s yet another opportunity for the corrupt cash game, and new inventions are purchased outside of prison, then leaked to those wealthy inmates who had somehow missed out on the prior scam.
