Florida's "pay to stay" law has sparked considerable debate and controversy since its inception. Under this legislation, individuals convicted of crimes but released from jail before completing their sentence are required to pay $50 for each day not served behind bars. Proponents argue that it serves as a deterrent to crime and helps offset the costs of incarceration, while critics decry it as disproportionately affecting low-income individuals and perpetuating a system of financial punishment. This policy sits at the intersection of justice, economics, and social equity, raising fundamental questions about the purpose and fairness of punishment within the criminal justice system. In this story, we witness a young women being held back to progress in life as this jail debt burden her and her family. We also uncover a story of an Indiana Sheriff who was corrupt and implemented these same policies! Let us know your thoughts! Tune into Youtube: WHAATTV for full video! WHAATTV APPRECIATES YOU!
