Justice Dept. Condemns Profit-Minded Court Policies Targeting the Poor
A top prosecutor called on state judges to root out unconstitutional policies, and warned against operating courthouses as for-profit ventures."In a letter to chief judges and court administrators, Vanita Gupta, the Justice Department’s top civil rights prosecutor, and Lisa Foster, who leads a program on court access, warned against operating courthouses as for-profit ventures. It chastised judges and court staff members for using arrest warrants as a way to collect fees. Such policies, the letter said, made it more likely that poor people would be arrested, jailed and fined anew — all for being unable to pay in the first place."
Taxes pay for government.
