A prisoner in Michigan, USA, who is jailed for life after murdering a man in 2014, has published a best‑selling book that was written while he was behind bars. He would like the earnings to go to his children, but the state says any proceeds from the work should go to them, as reimbursement for the cost of his care while incarcerated. Where do you think the proceeds of the book should go?
