Message: Mr Muskgrove,
I am writing to you to request a copy of your house bill # 799. This bill concern's the supervision fee that probationers and parolees have to pay.
I don't know have some of these people can afford this money. It seems as if what the government is saying is "I don't care if you have to commit more crimes, just give us money."
I know of people who are on SSI and can not afford to even eat hardly, but still must come up with this kind of money.
My question to you and your office is what is happening to our tax dollars that we pay and is supposed to pay these state workers. Also what happens to these fees that these people are being forced to pay. Yes I say forced because they are threatened with jail if they don't pay. This to me is almost the same as what happens when someone borrows money from a loan shark and does not repay it.
I would just like to know where these monies that are received goes.
I don't expect an answer from you as I have already requested this information from Chip Pickering's office.
In Your Regards:
Elisabeth Risher
