Court rules against imprisoning the poor over fines
The Supreme Court unanimously holds that imprisonment for nonpayment of fines violates the Fourteenth Amendment. The case of Preston A. Tate of Houston involved 425 dollars in traffic fines with jail time to work them off. The decision targets indigent prisoners nationwide and allows alternatives but does not rule out jail for those who refuse to pay when they can.
