Louisiana man sentenced for not paying child support. Sentenced to five years with eight months to serve in prison. Owes only $25k...average for defaulted student loan debt, and ~20% of a an average foreclosured motgage.

How exactly is he supposed to pay support while he is in prison. Also how is he supposed to get a job to pay support after he has been sent to prison for that long. I just don't understand how locking up someone for child support accomplishes anything.

What do they base that $25k on? What he would owe if he were out in the real world making money? The government is so bad at this with men, they put them in no win situations, and then when a man speaks up about it, they say "well, go figure it out". They also put men on sex offender registries when they are 19 and have sex with thier 16 year old gf, then tell them they cant live in most places in a city. When they complain, "well, go figure it out".

What CRIME was committed here though? What law on the books states this is an actual crime, not just contempt of court?

And, yet the JP Morgan CEO is still walking around a free person.
