If you could see inside the court, you would see 100+ black residents of the area waiting to make payments, the vast majority under $40.

The more you can pay, the quicker you can get out of here. A few could pay more than $40, most couldn't. Minimum payment is $25.

Now the people who can afford more than $30 are up. The lineup: 16 black men. 4 black women. 1 white man. 1 white woman.

@daveweigel You are only allowed to mail in payments if you can afford over $100. Otherwise, you have to show up.13 replies 34 retweets 8 likes
