Supreme Court rules against jail for inability to pay fines
The court unanimously bans imprisoning poor defendants for fines in a Texas traffic case and orders open divorce courts to the poor. Justice Brennan calls such imprisonment unconstitutional and visits wider equal protection concerns, noting a Houston laborer jailed for $425 in nine fines. Justice Harlan adds due process requires access to divorce for those unable to pay court costs.
