It is already difficult when being incarcerated but to be released and everything you own is gone how do you live again . Court cost and fines are usually very high and the interest that builds on top of it makes it difficult to start all over for the most part just finding employment not having an address or vehicle is already a hinderence depending on the charges . If incarcerated any interest should be stopped because they will not allow work release if your not sentenced work release should be available to all and should be able to work to pay any fines or cost . If it retains to child support they should be forced to work release and made work until paid
