Women in Florida owe county over $100k from "pay to stay" program for time not served!

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.
