Probation Fees Multiply as Companies Profit
- rdl 14y agoIt's crazy talking to poor or mentally ill people and seeing the huge problems minor things (parking tickets, misaddressed mail, etc.) cause them. Obviously some of it is inaccurate reporting by them, or failing to take advantage of readily available remedies, but the system also seems set up to screw them. I'm not a big fan of a paternalistic government, but even that would be preferable to an abusive one.
