In Europe, die Thoughtpolizei ensures that the price is paid through society, so every law-abiding citizen (=taxpayer) gets to pay!

A failed asylum seeker jailed for child rape is to receive around £50,000 in damages after a judge ruled he had been unlawfully kept behind bars while the Home Office tried to deport him to Somalia.
He won the payout despite being offered the opportunity to go voluntarily - but he preferred to stay in a British prison with free bed and board.
The pay-out is all the more astonishing because the authorities effectively have little choice but to keep him in prison.
He cannot be let out on to the streets in Britain because he is considered a danger to the public - especially women.
But equally, it is very difficult to deported him back to Somalia, despite failing in his asylum application.
Until July no airline was willing to fly compulsory deportees there, and only one will do so now - but it is dealing with a backlog. The man himself, meanwhile, refuses to go voluntarily because he says it is too dangerous for him back home.
He has, in effect, elected to stay in Britain - yet is claiming compensation for doing so. All the while, on top of his £50,000 damages and £100,000 legal fees paid by the taxpayer, he is costing more than £37,000 a year to keep in prison.
His stay in prison beyond his sentence has already cost well over £100,000 to the taxpayer. And he is also entitled to remain anonymous in the media.
This is because the Court of Appeal follows the convention in other European courts that publicly naming asylum seekers may put them at danger from those they may be fleeing from.
