A white Texas gunman who killed 23 people in a racist attack on Hispanic shoppers at a Walmart in 2019 has agreed to pay more than $5 million to families of the victims.

Genuinely curious and ignorant about restitution from inmates who spend the read of their lives in prison.

How would he ever be able to pay 5M+ USD?

    Since he’s in prison, the reality is that the amount he’s paying is negative. Instead of paying the government money in the form of a fine, he’s costing the government money because he’s in prison and needs to be fed, housed and guarded.
