U.S. Debtors prison: Woman dies during 3 day jail sentence over debts

[Soundmanred]

How in the world did she die after a single day in jail?

Her body went into shock from the single day of junk food withdrawal.

So initial reports are natural causes... meaning she most likely was dead no matter where she was. Having a hard time being outraged.

putting them in jail is not the answer. Really truancy? She was put in jail over her child skipping school.

that's just fucked up. jail the child not the adult.

IMHO, jail the kids wouldn't solve the problem. It would make more sense to send her kids for adoption through legal means, if she is deemed unfit to raise them.

I was ass raped by the attorney general for 14 years. My daughter finally turned 18 in May, so no more payments. But I still feel sorry for men for are forced to pay while the mothers have to provide nothing.

Let me guess, you won't be helping your daughter with attaining higher education.

Hey man, not getting that KFC Gravy in your veins can really send the body into shock and all sorts of crazy stuff!!

I will help her anyway I can.

I thought you added my to your ignore list.

Just so you know, my last child support payment was 2 weeks ago. I am a free man. No more financial slavery for me.

Wooot! Lets go out and party! you're buying!

Whats your solution Dave to unpaid fines? Tickets would mean nothing. I could speed around at 100mph putting lives at danger, get pulled over, ticketed and tear up ticket in cops face. Imagine 330m people acting this way. Whats your solution?

One more unproductive member of society cleansed from this world. Unrepentant debtors should die in prison.

Dinino had the option to pay $2,000 in fines but she couldn’t afford it, reports The Washington Post.


The sentencing judge, Dean R. Patton, said he sentenced the mother to jail reluctantly. He later criticized the sentencing guidelines he said he was required to follow.

Pretty disgusting looking at the people in here that support jailing her and glad she died there.

 

[Oldgamer]

False title. These were unpaid fines, not debts.

Isn't an unpaid fine a debt owed to local authorities??

*takes a sip*

Onward.

You are confusing the two.

She went to jail to pay off a fine owed to the government - good.

She died there - not good.

A lot of judges will let people do community service instead of going to jail.

Lets see, she did not have a job and did not do community service. That says a lot about her character right there.

I got so plastered last weekend I had a hangover for 2 days.

Read a couple of articles about this and you know her character and life story? Really?

I'll bet this was that woman's problem too

"Did something happen? Was she scared to death?" said District Judge Dean R. Patton, who reluctantly sent DiNino to the Berks County jail Friday after she failed to pay the debt for four years.

He described her as "a lost soul," and questioned Pennsylvanian laws that criminalize such lapses as truancy or failing to pay a trash bill.

"This lady didn't need to be there," Patton said. "We don't do debtors prisons anymore. That went out 100 years ago."
