Right, holding a person one extra day to charge them for an extra day because they refuse to pay.
Seems to go back to the County authorizing more punishment after the judge makes the determination on the case, which we have seen as to be illegal.

They (MCLU) haven't been able to prove this is illegal, YET! With the wording of slapping them on the wrist makes it sound like double jeapardy. Holding them an extra 8 hrs if they won't/can't pay? Where does this guy stop. Someone needs to address the board on this issue.
Jim, you say credit cars, just how many of the repeat and poor criminals are going to have them.
This sounds like what comes out of the backside of a cow!

Look at the next sentence in the post--"He said that they won't get money from someone in for theft, but they may get money from a drug dealer--someone that HAS money. Similarly, he said they would get money from someone who did something stupid--a DWI for example."
A drug dealer, or someone who is otherwise law-abiding, either one MAY have a credit card, and would pay to get out of jail--while a poor person would have their paperwork "lost"--costing them another day in jail. That's just not right.
At the meeting today, the Commissioners approved "pay for stay", Huber Law charges increased from $10 to $20 a night. They also approved having the money collected by a collection agency--so under the BEST circumstances, where an inmate pays right away, the County loses 8%--and it goes up from there.

Damn, $20 a day just for Huber?! Plus the per day stay on top of that??
If it is just $20 for Huber, that's $100 per work week, I don't think too many people that are out of jail, let alone in jail, could really afford $100 per week just to keep their job plus pay a per-day rate to stay in jail.
Or is it just $20 for the Huber and the day combined?
