Subject: Getting out of jail moves into plastic age
It was with great interest that I read your editorial supporting the use of credit cards in the Pinellas County Jail. So instead of paying a $100 to a bail agent you think that in addition to interest rates of 18 to 22% an additional charge of 7% is good public policy? I think it should be a violation of usury laws.
It is not often that we send out links to our e-list from attorney’s but I thought this was a very clear & concise presentation on the subject of of dealing with arrest records
