Well okay, Capt'n, but a mere technicality... Ya' see, we have 17% unemployemnt here in Page County and the jobs in NoVa have dried up, too so orderin' Bubba to pay up...

..ain't all that realistic... Meanwhile, on any given day some 20 inmates are "checked out" of lockup to do work that the county doesn't have the money to pay to have done... I mean, I could see it if the county were payin' these guys and the money went to their ex'es fir the child support but one thing fir sure is that sa long as these guys are locked up you can take it to the bank (little joke) that...

...Betty Jo and the kids ain't gonna get squat and when Bubba gets out he'll be just that much further behind in his payments with the same screwed up economy and 90 days later will be abck in jail for not catching up the arrearages???

What this amounts to has little to do with providin' a way for Bubba to ever get caught up but a cycle where the county will always have cheap labor they can't afford otherwise...

Welcome to the South...
