Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.
In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.
As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you’re released.
The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).
$20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.
Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.

That is how elections work, I’m the one acting democratically here
DO. YOU. LIVE. IN. A BATTLEGROUND STATE?
What are you going to do about it?
Irrelevant. Stein is closest to what I support, so I vote for her.
i’m not going to argue with you. i can see from your comment history that you’re a lost cause. you are damning people to consequences they don’t deserve, which makes you no different from conservatives. you are effectively the enemy and deserve to be treated the same.
This is you telling poor people to vote for wealthy Dems
this is me telling you to pull your head out of your ass and think about consequences. stop replying to me. i have nothing more to say to you, traitor.
You can’t even accept you consent to bombing children in Gaza with your Biden vote.
You lost the argument, and now are trying to find a way out lmao.
nah. my vote doesn’t mean that. what a very dumb thing to say, traitor.
lol. you’re fucking delusional, traitor.
It literally does whether you want to accept it or not. We provide money and weapons to bomb children, you vote in support of the president doing this.
The only traitor here is you voting for corporate fascism, willfully voting in support of the rich.
