Creditors don't push pause while someone's incarcerated. And because many people don't have the money for lawyers or bail, those costs turn into debt owed to family and friends after release.

When he was convicted, his house was foreclosed on. He spent his $20,000 savings on his criminal defense. He was a nurse before prison, but the state revoked his license.
"It's a little tough, but it's OK compared to what I was going to have to pay," he says."So, I'm OK. And I know that I'm supposed to do my part to help my son, anyway." People who don't pay child support can be arrested. In that case, the child loses, the ex-partner loses, and so does the person headed to jail.
