I don't use that word often, it gets bandied about by people looking to inspire sympathy or empathy or some other strong feeling. But it was what came to mind after reading this article about super poor people who get arrested, can't make bail, and then pretty much have their lives destroyed compared to those who can make bail. The system has problems.

I read the article as soon as I read this post but had to run... it is sad that people pay such a high price for relatively small infractions...blankets when freezing...while far more serious crimes are eased by money.
