Clinton County, Indiana has passed an ordinance that would require inmates to pay $30 per day for the duration of their sentence.
Here's what we know
The new ordinance applies to prisoners convicted of both felonies and misdemeanors. Inmates would only have to pay after spending 72 hours in prison.
Sheriff Rich Kelly told WTTV-TV that he believed this new policy would save taxpayers money, and provide an extra deterrent to crime. "If it deterred one person from making a bad decision than it is worth it to me," Kelly said.
Clinton County is not the first prison to implement this policy. Critics have argued that it discriminates against poorer inmates. The ACLU has protested the move.
ACLU Indiana executive director Jane Henegar told WXIN-TV that this policy would burden inmates "with excessive and unnecessary debt to solve a problem of our own making, not the individual's." She called this "cruel and just bad policy." The ACLU said that "[a]dding a bill of over $10,000 per year makes it that much harder to re-enter society."
But Kelly dismissed accusations that the fee was excessive. "As far as them incurring debt, that's a responsibility that every adult has. We all incur debt," he said. Kelly claimed that upkeep at the jail costs residents in the county $4 million annually.
County Commissioner Joshue Uitts has insisted that this new policy is in line with existing Indiana law.
At a rate of $30 per day (minus the first 72 hours), inmates would have to pay $810 for a 30-day sentence, and $10,860 for a year.
This new system is scheduled to take effect in August. The Clinton County jail can hold more than 150 inmates at one time.
You can't fix stupid. And how many people are in jail that don't belong there? How many innocent people are just victims of quota driven psychopathic gubment extortionists? Check this out, and spread it!

This is a throwback to the way the US handled jail in the late 18th and part of the19th century.
ReplyDeleteIt's just plain stupid.
How would you ever even collect?
And would keep them locked up forever if they could not pay?
Debtor's prison. ...
ReplyDeleteThis was the practice of British prisons and why there was NO HONEST COURT in England--- everyone was convicted .......... for PROFIT.
We should ALL be "taking a knee" .........................
America needs Jack-Booted-Thug police like America needs Homosexual-Pedophile priests. And frankly I bet a high percent of the Thugs are homosexuals trying tobe men.
.... It is Time to reconsider "taking a knee" As much as I disagree with most of the pro-kneeler idiots ..... I disagree with the Militarized 'police" concept more. Divide & conquer ... keep White & Black from uniting to demand honest police. by instigating conflict. The Militias, etc., were largely born of those concerns. More Whites are shot by police then Blacks --- https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/

Why aren't the Fans kneeling TOO?! All you FEMA camp prospects. All those worried about millions of hollow-point bullets that can store for decades.
Free Speech ..... kneel for it.
The police are the ones that Disrespect our Anthem and the Nation by murdering American Citizens, people's beloved pets, People shot in bungled raids on the wrong house , they murder the Rule of Law. Look at all the people being freed from false convictions based on lying police and corrupt prosecutors. Time to DEMILITARIZE the police. What became of those millions of hollow-point bullets? Those FEMA camps await, when shall you speak out?
Yeah sure, the POLICE - --- Currently, in the U.S., law enforcement kills around 1,200 citizens per year. Ironically, that number is actually four times higher than those who die from rifles. As has been recorded, cops have killed 450 percent more people than have died in the past forty years of mass shootings.
So now I say why are the football fans not kneeling WITH the players? After Ruby Ridge, Waco, LaVoy Finicum and the Bundy Ranch ALL fans should be joining the Players arm in arm and demanding the "police" start serving ALL the Citizens. The "Thin Blue Line" should be dismantled by any means necessary. There should be througho and objective THIRD PARTY investigations of shootings.
The police have NO Constitutional obligation to protect you/your loved ones. The police can legally stand and watch your loved ones be beaten to death and there is NO recourse. "all that needs to be understood, and remembered is they are armed, and paid, to protect and serve the State. you are not the State. once that is thoroughly understood, the rest falls into place."
9/11 did NOT magically transform cops into Honest Trustworthy Lawmen. Get over the misplaced school-girl "hero worship" and start demanding fair treatment of ALL Citizens.
Former law enforcement officer Matthew Horace explained comments made in his new book, "The Black and the Blue," that describes various police officers as "time bombs waiting to explode,"
Shooting a Citizen and then whining "I was in fear for my life" should result in immediate LIFE ban from law enforcement not a "license to kill" and if you pass the criminal investigation ---- you can go work at a Walmart where you will be safe. Shooting a harmless pet should mean immediate firing. https://thefreethoughtproject.com/category/cop-watch/
America needs Jack-Booted-Thug police like America needs Homosexual-Pedophile priests.
“The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.”— Justice William J. Brennan, City of Houston v. Hill
What the architects of the police state want are submissive, compliant, cooperative, obedient, meek citizens who don’t talk back, don’t challenge government authority, don’t speak out against government misconduct, and don’t step out of line.
Excellent idea, but like Hell it's gonna happen. On the other hand, nothing lasts forever. All this garbage WILL come to and end some day.
ReplyDeleteAt least we know we're on the right side of history when we get to the Otherside, and facing the 'Mirror of Self-Judgement' will be no sweat. No mandatory reincarnation in this disgusting cesspool, either,
If you have someone in jail, I want you to read this and click on all links so you can understand what the jails/courts are doing. They are playing name games and your birth certificate already paid for everything. http://reaperishere.weebly.com/under-standing-laws.html
ReplyDeleteI REFUSE to come back !!!
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine was in a county jail for 93 days and they sent her a bill for $5K!!! of which she couldn't pay. They sued her in court and got a lien on her for 20 years... and shortly after that the county stopped this ludicrous practice.... but she was stuck with the judgment!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't incurred any debt. It should be obvious, governments just are trying to make more debt slaves.
ReplyDeletechallenge it, where is the wet ink signature on the contract? and was their threats, duress and coercion to sign any alleged contract? was there full disclosure?
ReplyDeleteOffer.
Acceptance.
Consideration.
Mutuality of Obligation.
Competency and Capacity.
First, Someone Makes an Offer. ...
Second, Someone Accepts the Offer. ...
The Parties Exchange Some Consideration. ...
Written Contract?
demand they produce the contract!
Any ambiguity in a contract, benefits he "or she" that did not draft/create it!
Further, fraud vitiates all contracts!\
The Clara 102 U.S. 200 The maxim applies; quod non apparet non est.. the fact not appearing is presumed not to exist.
U.S. v. Tweel, 550 F. 2d 297 (1977) “Silence can only be equated with fraud where there is a legal or moral duty to speak or where an inquiry left unanswered is intentionally misleading”.
The county initiated this "policy" and then about 6 months or less later they dropped it. That was almost 20 years ago now....so don't bother.
ReplyDeletethen it's not binding, if there is so called legislation "ie a statute" i can neuter a statute in under three minutes.. find out if this is by legislative fiat and get me the statute.
ReplyDeleteif it's by institutional policy, its still not binding and could never be an obligation.
You owe the criminal terrorist evil government nothing.
ReplyDeleteThere was no contract signed. She told me she was never told about this nifty charge when she went to county.
ReplyDeletebest to know their rules of theft, to avoid being their victim. just a thought.
ReplyDeleteThey can't collect....she owns no real estate...
ReplyDeleteAny time a person is freed for wrongful conviction the Prosecutor, and possibly the Judge & police should be made to serve that Person's FULL SENTENCE.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input....I'll pass it along....
ReplyDeletei did a small stint in the legal dept "not as an attorney" in a collection agency. quite enlightening though.
ReplyDeletemy time there gave me great insight into contracts and how to void them.
Another example of Jews practicing usury in the USA. First most of the arrests or convictions in the US are bogus - the real criminals the Jewish bankers are never getting a sentence - and the Jews in America who finance private prisons put you in there.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! American Zio-Stupid-Nazis-Trump-Retards.
ok. your friend should look into the statute of limitations on debt, and it's never been 20 yrs, just sayin.
ReplyDeleteSame. We've outgrown it. As an NDEer, me thinks this locale of perpetual inconvenience and complete idiots is about as stupid as it can get, and what was wrong with me when I volunteered for it?! Shows being on the Otherside is no guaranty of intelligence, huh?
ReplyDeleteThose underprivileged children are the ones the dirty cop will shoot in the back when they turn 18.
ReplyDeleteHire a Mexican to do your time or join the Army for you, the new minimum wage in Mexico is $5 a 10 hour day.
ReplyDeleteYou save $25 a day.
The Mexican gets a prison job,clothes,shelter,food,medicine and a pathway to hell.
hmm oddly, that's not a condition of their sentence.. but that's never stopped the government from attempting to steal from people before!
ReplyDeleteSo.... if you can't pay you go back to jail to rack up more charges? Sounds like a life sentence to me....
ReplyDeleteJudgments and liens must be renewed every so many years or they become moot.
ReplyDeleteI was a paralegal and advised her.....
ReplyDeleteOnly a brain dead morally bankrupt PoS would dream up a scheme such as this.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, yes. That would be a Modern [American] Conservative. Their solution to everything is taking what Modern Liberals do, reversing it, and making it 10x worse. Super smart.
