Is debtor’s prison back?

How can you lock up someone for failing to pay a judgment?

Not that I care about the guy; he’s clearly a crook. But this seems a bit off.

Contempt of court? Why are some divorced/separated fathers in jail for failure to pay child support?

Those who are not tied in with new world order are subject to the law with extreme prejudice (i.e., prosecutions and penalties can far exceed what the law calls for).

Those who are tied in with new world order are not subject to the law other than a slap on the wrist if absolutely necessary, e.g., Executive Branch appointees, directors and top execs at most large publicly-held companies, investment bankers, members of Congress, etc. You’ll notice most of the time they basically skate.

The only thing a new world order “minion” can do to really anger nwo is seriously mess with their money-making-machine or spilling some serious beanage. In that case, nwo dispenses its own sentence of execution outside of the legal system.

It’s called ‘Peonage’ I believe and no I don’t think it’s legal.
