DAVID BARDES DESCRIBES SC'S "INHUMANE TREATMENT OF INDIGENT FATHERS THAT HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT"
Click here to read about Mr. Bardes' experience. According to Mr. Bardes, "The cost of incarnation in Charleston County is around $35,000 a year per inmate. Charleston County spends a $1,000,000 a year just to house innocent fathers that are down in their luck. It would be far cheaper to just pay the indigent parent child support payments directly."
We are unable to verify whether Mr. Bardes' figures are correct. However, his claims do raise the question "WHO IS BENEFITING FROM THE INCARCERATION OF 'DEADBEATS'?"
