A guy here in my area of Arkansas was arrested for an outstanding (misdemeanor) warrant and missed his own father's funeral. Excessive!

Ours is a system designed to criminalize poverty, mental health, and substance abuse. There is no rehab in locking someone in a cage.

Poverty comes from lack of want or ability to do better. Many factors, however crime is intention/choice. Plz not spin reality

Correct. Being a criminal is a person's single choice. So pull your big girl panties up and face consequences. Or stay your butt at home.

I fully agree John. What alternatives are out there? I know money bail doesn’t ensure a person will show up for court, but what will?

350,000 thousand parents a year go to jail for being poor and missing a child support payment.They loose job,home, driver liscense. Not fair

Their only crime is being poor or having bad luck a couple months and can't pay. Where is the sympathy for them.O they labeled as deadbeats
