Poor paying the price as the cost of justice goes up - CBS News


Poor paying the price as the cost of justice goes up - CBS News: "Many states are imposing crippling fines as a way to close budget gaps. Those who can’t pay can end up behind bars.

After 24 hours behind bars in College Station, Texas, an unemployed mother of three is minutes away from being released.

“I have three children, and I just want to go home and see my babies,” said the woman, who asked CBS News to conceal her identity."  'via Blog this'
