Many people cannot pay their fines, or it requires significant tradeoffs. And it is so easy for things to roll out of control. Once the due date is past, the fine is doubled or triple. A $200 fine can become 400 or $600. Now its harder to pay, and so it doesn't because your car broke down and the kids are hungry. A warrant is issued for your arrest. They arrest you while at work. Even though you are out again the next morning, your work fired you, and won't give you a good reference. You get a knock on your door. Rent is due. Then two months. You feel fucked. A neighbor offers you relief, a fun night with some meth. You consider, but decide not too. You get kicked out for not paying rent. Now you are back living at your mom's. You feel like a loser, but at least its a roof. But she's an ass. She forgets to tell you of a phone call inviting your to an interview. But you have to make it to court to plead guilty/mercy for not paying your fines, but your sister calls you right before. She just got beat up down the street, and needs you to pick her up. Your are 5 minutes late, and the judge doesn't care. On the way home, you get pulled over for expired tags. New ticket. I guess you won't pay the car payment this month. Your car get repossessed. It costs 200 +%40/day + $400 in late payments. You borrow some money from the neighbor. He's creeepy but get your car back. Insurance is due. Tags are not paid. You are afraid to drive. You don't have a job. Meanwhile your creepy neighbor will forgive your debt if you get on your knees. You decide to not pay him, but he grabs you anyway. Rapes you. Police don't believe you. You are a poor slut. Your friend says come over and says let's party. You do. You get high. You keep getting high. You sleep with someone because they have a hit. He says, damn you hot, you could make some good money, and leaves a little for the road. You start jonesing, then take him up on the offer. Next thing you know you are a hooked junky prostitute. You sell your car for next to nothing and a blowjob. Your mom kicks you out. Now you live by the river with Frank. Frank protects you but he's an alcoholic. I made this up, but this is how it works. THis is how it worked for people I know.
