At $249 per day, prison stays leave ex-inmates deep in debt

The office seem to cater to services where only the able and 9-5 crowd can easily access it. It seems more of a failing of this office to not provide an online alternative means to pay.

I'm not sure it's conveinient for that crowd either. It's always puzzled me how you were expected to make it to government offices open roughly 9-5 while most people work those same hours.

I always assumed lunch time or day off to be used. But your right, it does seem very silly (and affects people living paycheck to paycheck the most)

I thought of lunch too, but the lines are pretty long at most of these places (in MI I could make appointments, which still require waiting a significant amount of time).
