From Human Rights Watch:

the video explains how many states are dumping probation programs to private contractors who charge poor people thousands of dollars and lock them up.

The system is unfair and has to change.  This is just more of the kids for cash, seniors for cash problem that is sweeping the US.

It is not a crime to be poor in the US, we don’t have gulags, we are not supposed to be forcing people into horrendous lock down nursing homes and forcing drugs on them.

Even while I am suspended, I watch out for your rights.  I care about all of you out there, esp. the probate victims.  We have fairly pieced together a huge chunk of the problem, where many in government are linked to drugs and mob money.

It important that these problems are eliminate from the court’s system
