That's extremely messed up considering that pretty much anybody could end up incarcerated.

Thankfully, most of us wouldn't have to serve that time in Florida
I feel well put

Not allowed to vote until you pay it off too.

Despite the state voting to ban that.

This sounds like those horrible debtor prison models they had in Europe a couple hundred years ago. They threw them in jail for debt and while they were there they charged them for staying there so they never could get out of debt.

Meanwhile, former Twitter user Donald Trump flagrantly ignores the law and has nearly 100 indictments and has less of a worry than this woman.

If you gave me a 6 figure bill just for existing the first thing I'm doing is turning to crime.

When you do this to someone who's already going to have a difficult time getting a job because of their criminal record you're just locking people into cycles of poverty and debt that are extremely hard to get out of even if they're trying to do everything right. Which I suspect is the point.

The entire point of these ridiculous fees is to make it impossible to ever get your right to vote back.
The shitheads running Florida hated it that we wanted to restore felon voting rights and will do anything possible to prevent that.

I honestly think you guys are giving republicans too much credit. Cynically locking people into poverty and debt is far too elaborate a plan.

No, I think the simple motivation is "criminals are scum, let's punish them and make them PAY". It's literally just that, with no further thought about the consequences or harm that causes.

Nah, it's both. For profit prisons love this shit, because if you're too poor and desperate to survive without resorting yo crime, you'll go right back to the place that profits from your incarnation. Stripping away your right to vote is a bonus to Republican politicians.

Sadly, this will be the eventual fate of other states that turn fully red.
