U.S. Judge Ordered To Stop Jailing Poor People Over Court Fines A Michigan judge has been ordered by a circuit court to stop putting defendants in jail because they can’t afford to pay court fines. The district judge will now consider a defendant’s job status, assets, basic living expenses and any other special circumstances that might affect their ability to pay. The American Civil Liberties Union sued a county in Washington state Tuesday, accusing it of sending people to jail or forcing them onto work crews if they fail to pay their court fines — a practice that makes the poor poorer and amounts to a "modern-day debtors' prison," the organization said. The group's state chapter has long alleged that the Benton County District Court penalizes defendants without investigating whether they can afford to pay their fines. “Benton County is operating a well-oiled machine specifically designed to wring money out of poor people for the county’s financial benefit — and if that means people have to sit in jail or do manual labor, so be it,” ACLU Washington chapter legal director Emily Chiang said.

Typically more than one-quarter of the people in the county jail are "sitting out" their fines on any given day, according to a review of jail rosters. Under the new court order, Gerds will be required to consider a defendant’s job status, earning ability, living expenses, and any special circumstances that may affect their ability to pay. As an alternative, defendants may agree to fulfill their obligations under payment plans agreed to with the court, or judges may have to craft different sentences such as community services.

While incarceration starts locally in county and city jails, it of course doesn’t stop there. Research shows that even a few days in jail before trial or release can increase the likelihood of receiving a sentence of incarceration – and can increase the harshness of that sentence.
