Re: Woman put in jail for being poor
Woman jailed for 10 days because she's too poor to pay fine

TAGS: Crisis, USA, Economy

The recession ruined Linda Ruggles’ business and she has been selling plasma twice a week since to make ends meet. The blood bank couldn’t bail her out from behind bars though, which is where she ended up after she couldn’t pay a $480 fine.

That fine, say cops in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, came about because Linda Ruggles had a messy yard.

Barely getting by in recent years, Ruggles, 53, has been stockpiling scraps to pawn off in order to make her bill payments. In her yard rests a pile of metal that she routinely cashes in to get by. Elsewhere outside her house is a shack of shingles. Paying to have her roof fixed, often a job that comes at a cost of several thousand dollars, has been out of the question.

So when cops ticketed her $480 for having a messy yard, Ruggles wasn’t exactly prepared to pay it.

If we sent everyone to jail who had "junk" in their yard 80% of the Deep South would be in the clink and 2/3 of the Far North. Do you have any idea how many douchebags keep boats, campers, pink flamingos, shitty plastic "statues", snowmobiles, atv's, those goddamn trampolines, and PT Cruisers on their property across the country?

She got her job back and after released for 10 days, neighbors started helping (but no-one offered before when someone called the code enforcers).

I liked this statement she made:
“It didn’t change the situation,” she adds. “I just don’t think being handcuffed, photographed and fingerprinted is really a behavior-modification tool to keep me from being poor.”
 Quoting: D'Light


Well, maybe she could have put the junk in her back yard. Putting junk on your front lawn has nothing to do with being poor. I hope she finds a better way to store these things and gets back on her feet. Maybe her neighbors felt bad when they turned her in instead of helping her first.

Re: Woman put in jail for being poor
I am astonished at the number of uncaring responses to this woman's predicament.....All I can say is "You should hope that you don't find yourself in her unwelcome position. No one will care."
 Quoting: midisandy


My argument is that she should have bought less home, she probably assumed she would never lose her job and bought a place she can't afford.
 Quoting: BRIEF


I can see your point Brief, but we don't KNOW that. Nor do we know the circumstances of her life. Nor do YOU know that a similar fate could not befall you.

However, personally, I am done paying fines for anything. If I do something "wrong" they can send me to jail, where I will not pay a damn dime to a corrupt system. No lawyers, no fines, no court costs.

And, people, please realize that the public is now paying to house and feed this woman for 10 days and paying her fine for her. A fine for a ridiculous "crime". A messy yard is not the end of the world, and it harms none. Its not as though it were piles of food scrap and causing a pest nuisance.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6289134


Why does everyone assume this lady bought a place she couldn't afford? Look, if your income goes from, say, $15/hr to 0/hour, a TENT becomes too much to afford.

This is just more "big government" at it's finest. Welcome to the Police State.

 Quoting: BRIEF


I have to agree with you on most of what you are saying, Brief. We had a neighbor like this 3 doors down from me. The front house was so packed with stuff, they had to move into the back house. The first floor of the back house, which was a 3 car garage, was packed to the ceiling. The back yard was full, and the front yard was partially full.
Both of them were working, they were just hoarders.

Reading the article about this case, and seeing the picture, changed my opinion on this story. There is no way she was simply scrapping for money. She had way too much in that yard for an ordinary scrapper.IMO,she is a hoarder. I do believe that she was originally scrapping for money, but somehow she went beyond the scrapping, and went over the line to a virtual hoarder junkyard. It looks like she had enough junk for several semi loads. There are several people in my neighborhood who scrap to pay their bills. When they get a truckload, they take it in, not let it pile up like this woman did.

Re: Woman put in jail for being poor
These violations come out when state or county needs to raise funds. They will nitpick every little thing they can in the code just to get a hundred bucks out of you. Lots of broke counties so the zoning nazi come out and take advantage of your wallet. Its usually pointless to fight them in court too since most people work 9-5 anyway and can't go filing appeal paperwork. Of course all the blatant zoning code violators & illegal immigrants never seem to get fined, but they usually have the most junk laying around.

Re: Woman put in jail for being poor
They ought to jail all of my fucking neighbors then because everyone single one of them except for me and tow others have junk cars and shit piled all over their yards front and back. We're talking scrap metal, old cars and trucks that don't run. wood piles, Wood barrels, lawn mowers, shingles, concrete blocks, etc... and no, they don't clean it up,either. they're some of the worst and messiest people you have ever seen.
Damn rednecks!

Was at her house on Halloween. The yard is neater than one would think in the front. Just several packs of shingles sitting neatly on the front of the roof. My son's friend's parents, who just live several houses away from her, pointed out the shingles and chuckled saying that they had been there a few years. It did not seem to offend them and it certainly did not offend me. The yard was neat. It just had the shingle packs on the front yard part of the roof. I guess the neighbor who could see it was the one to call the town. Sad. They should have offered to help instead. Everyone knows someone hit by the recession/depression. How neighborly. How nice.... The lack of understanding of what it takes to hold on to normalcy under these stressful financial circumstances is mind boggling. And for the neighbor to complain about a drop in property values.... Come on! This area is Candlewood not the Stepford-like areas of I'On or Daniel Island with extreme HOA compliancy officers saying when your grass needs cutting or that you can see the trash can from the street. They need to get a life. Start going after the copper thieves in the area instead, or how about the armed robbers or other actual law breakers?
