steeltrucker said:Man, I’ve got five thousand dollars in fines piled up—tickets, traffic violations, all sorts of nonsense... and I don't have the cash to cover it. So, I’m just waiting for that day when they haul you off to Biloxi. If you can pay then, you walk. If not? Well, you say goodbye.
That isn't how it works. They don't just pick you up; you show up there in solitary confinement. If you fail to appear, the court simply hands down an even harsher sentence. As for visitation, you can see your wife, your kids, friends, or relatives. Smuggling cigarettes or bribing guards isn't the reality anymore, so stop spreading misinformation. Biloxi is a brutal prison. If you don't have connections on the inside, a month there is hell. They can put you in a cell block with rapists, killers, and con artists. If you're broke, you're essentially at their mercy. Once you've served two-thirds of your sentence, you might be released if you behaved like a model prisoner. Of course, this isn't some version of what happened with George W. Bush and his associates.
