Pay-to-stay (imprisonment)

Pay-to-stay is a system where people who have broken the law can pay a fee to stay in a nicer prison than a regular prison. Instead of being sent to a regular prison, they can pay to stay in a prison that is cleaner and quieter. It's like staying in a better hotel than a regular one. People who can pay this fee can have a more comfortable stay in prison.
