My payment mysteriously vanished from the books after I told the clerk that she needed to be trained in customer service people skills and then they issued a bench warrant for my arrest. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1647441 Maybe next time you'll think twice about being a smart-ass. Hint: you were not a "customer" if you were paying a fine/court fee, etc. |

Watch out, a paying customer!!! |

How many millions have lost or will lose their jobs? How many millions are dealing with things like illness, divorce, widowhood, aging, etc. that prevents them from working? And the legal system intends on jailing all of them? Another pearl of idiocy from America. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 14736556 United States 04/21/2012 03:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just did 23 days in jail on a civil debt, and yes it is child support. I have to turn myself back in on Tuesday, and don't even go to court until May 18th. The funny thing, is they say it is not punitive incarceration, they call it coercive. How am I supposed to find a job from Jail? There is no access to the internet, and since I can't afford to pay child support, how can I afford 3 dollars for a phone call? Also, as a side note, I also don't "earn" credit for time served, so really, all it is, is charging tax payers to feed and house me. They don't even try to educate jail, they just put you in a pod, and turn on the TV. |
