This story is bananas. Florida charges people $50 a day for their stay in prison. The state wants this woman to pay $127,000 because she was sentenced to 7 years—even though she only served 10 months. A perfect example of how the gov’t sets people up to fail upon release. reason.com/2024/04/24/s...

She only served 10 months behind bars. Florida still slapped her with a $127,000 bill.reason.com Under Florida's "pay-to-stay" law, inmates are charged $50 for every day of their sentence—including time they never spent incarcerated.

The woman in this story got clean, started a family, went to college. But her outstanding debt is crushing her day to day & keeping her from getting a job as a case manager. Stuff like this is why people reoffend. If you care about public safety, you can’t support this.
