care family from South Carolina was recently thrown in jail
after up for news found a search warrant not a search warrant arrest warrant for
her
dating back to about 10 years ago she rented a movie from
a video store that is now gone out of business and
she never returned it as a result the video store adult in a video
contacted the authorities about it and the authorities apparently tried to
contact her and get the video back
well fast forward to it 2014
she go to the police station for something that's completely unrelated to
this case
and they realize that they have the arrest warrant for her and they're like
I'll look this up Monster in Law movie that you rented back in 2005
you never a return it so as a result we're gonna throw you in jail
no I who can say Island I'm re it has ridiculed the story South I'm just bring
it up to show you
how unbelievable our so called justice system is right
can we please stop throwing people in jail for things that are non-violent
right so if if the robbery obviously that the violent if if it's murder if
it's ray deford sexual assault thing like that I get it I get it right
nonviolent drug offenses stupid things like this I mean this video store isn't
even a business anymore
so in Norway the guy who killed 77 people
gets a 21-year sentence here you don't return a video cassette from 10 years
ago
they put you in jail she was released on bot thank God
crappy are they not merciful the proper way to handle has
oh man we got it this is really about you than arrest warrant out for you
you you gotta pay this bill I know they I don't know who you would even pay to
go there at a business
but you gotta take care this you know through the woman in jail that's
insanity
this charges so although so irrelevant its failure to return a rented
videocassette its video cassette for christ sake
are you can it also did she not probably return a track to the library
beautiful bird present for that three strikes you're out she is a life
sentence
come on man pals a reason man you some human judgment
dopey put people in jail for this know it's a look this is a
OBT stretch from this story but as I was reading this I was just thinking about
our justice system as a whole
and all the different things that are going wrong right now so they're the
private prisons we've talked about that
on various occasions but now there's like the reemergence of those debtors
prisons right
and we're supposed to have certain protections like bankruptcy protection
if there are certain bill that we just can't pay
would say we have credit card debt and we lose our jobs if you can't be that
you can file for bankruptcy
but now all the sudden if you get a traffic citation
or some sorta up legal issue in a particular state
and you fail to pay those bills you get there in prison for that now
in in one part a Washington
about 20 percent of the people %uh that are
in the jail system there are there because they didn't pay for their
traffic citations are legal fees
one woman I'm we were meant to do story last week your and I love the story one
woman
as a thousand dollars in fines his work in a full time job sick but i cant
I King I don't have enough money to be able to eat
and to pay the fine at the same time like sorry the interest keeps accruing
so she got charged two thousand dollars in interest before she even got a
champion
her so it's actually was six thousand now it's eight thousand now it's even
harder did
pay than their store back in Jones gonna make it even harder
pay it was yesterday jailed in triple-a crewmen should have a harder time
getting a job
this is Stephanie remember remember when all this stuff is happening the people
that pay for it
include the two of us right like we end up paying at the right at paying for
part by our tax dollars
so it's ridiculous and counterproductive to throw someone in prison or jail
because they can't pay for their debt I mean in the american taxpayer pays for
that
it's so stupid drives me crazy I we gotta stop putting non-violent people
in in prison it doesn't make any sense we get now
one final is open and read monster law the movie
that she so egregiously did not return in time
got a 16 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes
I I thought that movie was good I'm people-meter
put her in jail him people like our way through every day I enjoyed that movie I
thought it was good
Dixie nobody has J Lo it
and James Bond girl I
to be fair have a site with J Lo is very good
