This already happens more or less. Now after serving some time, you have a big bill to pay off as well.

See also: you are going to have to pay for this incredibly expensive addiction treatment center (probably run by someone politically connected) or else you are going straight to prison for a long time. And by "you", when it comes to paying, we really mean "your family", since you probably don't have any money.
