A smallish reward like $50-$100 is large enough to compensate people for their help but small enough to not get people who are desperate for money. It's enough to buy one tank of gas,one pack of cigarettes,and a twelve pack of beer, with enough left over to invest into that one last bullet to end their misery for being a lab rat in the first place.
