when you have privately owned jails they have to fill them to capacity to get all the money for the owners. No problem what the charges are you can buy ur way out or serve time. Unless you don't understand when you have enough pull like our presidents own son they can hold evidence until time expires on the charges while a poor person is on the way to prison. We need better laws that we have now. Yes I heard phrase time and the crime. it's definitely not a simple thing for the people who can't afford the fancy lawyer.

sounds to me like folks are passing laws that the general population don't agree with. so how's about heading down to city hall and fighting for those that can't fight for themselves and overturning this law. 💁🏾‍♂️ Ya know use ya voice 🤷🏾‍♂️
