So it seems the good ol state of Mississippi is forcing people to work to pay off debt and they also send people to debtors prison.

Sounds more like a money making scheme more than anything. And its seems kind of shitty...

I mean, you could clarify that its court ordered debts. It's not like this bitch missed a couple credit card payments. She was convicted of embezzlement and didnt pay her fines.

What's the problem other than indefinite sentences? They committed crimes and are paying back to society

Honestly, provided the work is reasonably compensated (otherwise it's basically sentencing people to slavery), this makes a lot more sense than simply jailing people for failing to pay their fines. Elongating the sentences by charging them for the prison room they're forced to inhabit is pretty questionable, though.

I'm surprised that Mississippi still exists.

Historically the next step has been slavery.
