"In contrast to this literature that explores differences in socioeconomic status by skin tone categories, controlling for race, our analysis shows that race is an outcome – influenced by socioeconomic status among people with the same detailed physical skin tone."

I'm sure very few people know about this. Inmates in 43 states are charged a per diem cost for "room and board" ranging between $40 to hundreds of dollars. In some states you owe for every day of your original sentence EVEN IF YOU GET OUT EARLY. www.welcometohellworld.com/there-is-no-...

In some cases this can add up to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees, as it did for a woman named Shelby Hoffman. Originally sentenced to seven years, she served only ten months before being released. A couple years later while applying for a job and jumping through the typical hoops that a formerly incarcerated person has to do as a matter of course, she found out she still owed $127,750.

"I felt so tricked and so fooled," Hoffman said.

"There is no ladder with them. There is nothing that you can do. Apparently. That will ever truly allow you to be a second chance anything. There isn’t. And they make sure of it.”

Obviously this is not really about reimbursing the state for your stay in Hotel Hell, it's also, as so many things in this country are, about creating and entrapping people in a permanent underclass from which there is little hope of escape. Saddling people, and yes usually a certain kind of people, who have served their time, with crippling debt so that they'll be forced into accepting worse working conditions forever. Or end up back in prison again where the state can further profit off of their bodies.

As an added bonus, those that cannot pay the fees have also not technically completed the terms of their sentence and therefore cannot have their voting rights restored.
