Reply #17: It Wasn't Years Prior it Was 6 Months Ago................

[Corey_Baker08]

Theyve given me 6 months to pay off my fines and just like millions of Americans the past 6 months have been the hardest times financially for my family and if it wasn't for me holding a job my parents would have lost their house. Im not asking for your sympathy and I am 'Manning Up' if I wasn't I would have said fuck it and just skipped the court date.

Its not the point of the consequence of going to jail, I am prepared for that, its the inevitable outcome that because I go to jail I will get kicked out of college and lose my new job, my life is on the right track and I believe it would be counterproductive of the court to imprison someone who has not violated the law to get his probation revoked, I simply couldn't pay them the money.

Im 20 years old working for minimum wage and going to school full time, I come from a poor family, I don't have $850 just laying around.
