Debtors’ prisons were around far more recently than the Middle Ages. They were around in Britain during the 19th century.

They just opened up the first one of the 21st century, I believe they're calling it Detroit.

Are you defaulting on the regular?
That means: Have you not paid your bills for a really long time?

You seriously think minimum security prison is a nice place to be? I'm asking because I don't know - and I'm curious. I have this instinctual drive for freedom that keeps me finding ways to pay my bills.

I have no idea. I've never been in a minimum security prison but from all the stories I hear from movies to real life experiences from other people it doesn't seem that bad.

If they come for me, I'm just going to fall to my knees and beg them to garnish my wages. Mine aren't significant; it's some bull**** that my previous college keeps telling me I didn't pay, and that I keep paying over and over again. I swear to God, for that $75 parking ticket in 2005, they've gotten at least $325 from me.
