There is nothing more expensive than being poor. Once you hit a certain level of poverty especially if you become entangled in the criminal justice system it becomes readily apparent that the system is designed to simply milk you of any resources including your freedom as that can be profitable for corporations. Poor people deal with obstacles that people with means never even think about. For example, Florida just voted to restore voting rights to felons and now the state legislature is attempting to change the will of the voting public to state that only felons that have all court costs and fines paid can vote. Public defenders are another example, if you are poor and charged with a crime your defense is worth ~30 minutes of a low paid attorney's time which results in higher fines and/or jail time and the cycle continues.
