As with every Republican policy that targets the poor, from abortion to school choice to Flint water:

The cruelty is the point.

#6 There's all kinds of systems in place to oppress the poor.

Poor people might not be able to afford to take time off to go to court for a traffic ticket. So they get points on their license and their insurance goes up. Or they might not be able to afford car insurance one month and the lapse means their insurance goes up.

When you don't have a financial cushion you find out real fast how an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

They know to kick you when you're down.

As financial predators we hunt the weak and the sick and the old.

"This is better than Taxpayers paying for it."

No it isn't.

It's one taxpayer paying the taxes instead of all of them.

"Do you honestly believe the state can house, feed and care for someone for $50 a day?"

House who? She's no longer in custody. What is she paying for, specifically?

Miranda7 makes a habit of denying facts she doesn't like.

For example, Florida's two pay-to-stay statutes reside in Title XLVII: Criminal Procedure and Corrections, yet the statutes grant the state and counties explicit authorization to mobilize civil law against persons convicted under criminal law.2 The first criminal statute achieves this by defining pay-to-stay fees as civil damages and alluding to the state and counties as victims of crimes (FL 960.293(2)):
(FL 960.293(2)):
960.293 Determination of damages and losses."
(1) In a civil suit for damages filed by a crime victim against a convicted offender, the crime victim is entitled to liquidated damages in an amount equal to the actual damages award.
(2) Upon conviction, a convicted offender is liable to the state and its local subdivisions for damages and losses for incarceration costs and other correctional costs.
(a) If the conviction is for a capital or life felony, the convicted offender is liable for incarceration costs and other correctional costs in the liquidated damage amount of $250,000.
(b) If the conviction is for an offense other than a capital or life felony, a liquidated damage amount of $50 per day of the convicted offender's sentence shall be assessed against the convicted offender and in favor of the state or its local subdivisions. Damages shall be based upon the length of the sentence imposed by the court at the time of sentencing.

The second criminal statute determines pay-to-stay fees can be pursued in civil court on the grounds that they constitute victim's restitution to the government (FL 960.297):
960.297 Authorization for governmental right of restitution for costs of incarceration."
(1) The state and its local subdivisions, in a separate civil action or as counterclaim in any civil action, may seek recovery of the damages and losses set forth in s. 960.293.
(2) For those convicted offenders convicted before July 1, 1994, the state and its local subdivisions, in a separate civil action or as a counterclaim in any civil action, may seek recovery of the damages and losses set forth in s. 960.293, for the convicted offender's remaining sentence after July 1, 1994.
(3) Civil actions authorized by this section may be commenced at any time during the offender's incarceration and up to 5 years after the date of the offender's release from incarceration or supervision, whichever occurs later.

I will never support making prisoners pay for the "services" we provide them.

But it's especially egregious when they pay real world prices, but get paid unreal wages like 92 cents an hour.

According to statute, the lien expires after 3 years, does take the ability to pay into acccount and applies only to the days/months actually incarcerated.

You Lie.

"#39 I remember when these statutes became law, because there were many new documentation requirements that impacted my day to day work."

And prisoners get to pay for you doing that work.

How's it feel, working for criminals?

"I would like to see the rest of the order"

That is from the statute.

"It already includes an "ability to pay assessment"

What good is that?
Are you saying she has the ability to pay?

"Employment is optional in Florida, inmates are not forced to work."

Hahahaha! You Lie.

"liens disappearing after 3 years"

Then what is this?

"Within three years, when applying for the exemption to work in case management, her dream job is when Hoffman found out that she " like thousands of others " still owes the state $50 a day for the seven years of her original sentence: $127,750."

The lien may be expired, but the debt remains.

"and they are in the wrong to deny it."

They have every right to deny it.

"It has no teeth without a court order."

It has enough teeth to affect her career.

This is the system, working as intended.

"because it sought to outlaw things Florida doesn't do anyway, forced labor and unpaid labor"

Holy ----. What is with the relentless lying. Florida does both of those things.
Aren't you supposed to be black? I can't imagine a black person doesn't know these things to be true!

"What are black people supposed to know about?"

Racism.

LOL all you want. Avoidance is what we've come to expect from Republicans, because Republicans don't want to acknowledge American history is steeped in racism.

Florida has many examples:

The birth of the Florida prison system -- unlike most in the U.S. -- came after the Civil War in 1868. Shortly after, the state legislature "arranged to offset the new prison's expenses with the returns of the labor of its prisoners," according to One Dies, Get Another: Convict Leasing in the American South. Labor that would be performed both inside and outside the prison's walls.

Florida, always rapidly developing since its acquisition, was in dire need of laborers. So the state created new ways to capitalize on the disenfranchised in order to keep up with the pace of growth, satisfying not only the labor demands of development, but also the moral demands of racism. In 1877, Florida's Governor George Franklin Drew codified the convict leasing system, whereby prisoners were leased out to private entities and industries. As Douglas Blackmon notes in his Pulitzer Prize"winning book Slavery by Another Name, convict leasing was a method undertaken by the Southern States to replace the economic setup of slavery. The convict leasing system was especially harsh in Florida, where convicts worked long days mining phosphate and turpentine, clearing out tropical landscapes, and laying roads in hellish temperatures without adequate food, water, or shelter. They were subjected to brutal punishment not unlike the cruelties performed on slaves " including whipping, solitary confinement, and torture.

"But shame on the ------- for not knowing some states still have have unpaid prison labor."

Shame on anyone for not knowing* that.
But it's more likely to affect a black person, since they're more likely to:
1. live in the South.
2. get sent to prison.

*It's not that she doesn't know. That is a mischaracterization. She is lying about it.

"If he cannot capture her adoring gaze, well, he will make her stare at him in fear."

Sums up how Deplorables run the game and intimidate their enemies. From abortion bans to Charlottesville Unite The Right armed torch-bearing Brownshirts.

Cops too. Respect my authoritah!

"Many of the comments on here outrageously sums up the perverted "I love criminals and hate America" mentality of the "left" that now defines the new Biden version of Democrats."

Got any examples?

"OH.....I feel so sorry for criminals who oppress, harm, steal and violate innocent victims that include women, elderly, children and frankly anyone who didn't ask to be harmed or criminalized that are now charged for their actions (sarcasm intended) ."

The criminal in this story has done more with their life than you.

Notably, she learned from her mistakes, something you have not done yet.

"Democrats and Biden oddly have absurd sympathy for the trash that would take innocent people out given the chance."

The cop who killed Breonna Taylor is not really part of this story.
