Is thi right

I was court ordered to pay 2000 dollars to the courthouse by jan 8 2008 or I have to serve 60 days in jail. I filled out a form stating I couldnt afford the cost. Even though I make less then 1000 a month the judge wouldnt give me a break. How can this be legal?

There ya go, that would be why the court is not allowing you to make monthly payments, the probably feel you have had plenty of time to do that.

Thats what I was thinking.. but then I got this strange threating call about race. I was told it was not about the money but because I was black. I got the police calling at least once a week asking if Ive paid my debt yet. I have been do the best I can to get it payd up. Its hard when your a single dad.
