Just a bit of news for the many broke-ass but non-violent locals . . . It seems that, even in the midst of state cooperation, corporations won't be able to imprison people for failing to submit to their onerous fee structure.

Missouri outlaws jail debt turning into jail time, following action by Gov. Mike Parson
JEFFERSON CITY - Courts across the state will no longer be allowed to threaten defendants with more time behind bars if defendants fail to pay jail debts. Gov.
