A new report on the growth of court fines and fees that are charged to often-impoverished offenders is focusing on another group that pays: their families.
Titled "When All Else Fails, Fining the Family," the study finds that impoverished people who go through the criminal justice system almost always get cash from family and friends to help pay their court-ordered fines, even though those family and friends are often poor, too.
