| Abstract | When two college students get convicted after they try to run out on a restaurant bill, one student who had the money to hire a good lawyer and to pay for extra privileges in jail, takes part in a pay-to-stay program that allows low-risk convicts in jail for short periods to pay to get a single, clean cell, and the ability to leave during the day. The second student who lacked the necessary funds, has to server her 30 day jail sentence in a barred cell that she shared with another prisoner, and could not leave the jail during the entire 30 days. |
