This is despicable: childless man released from child support debt.

In my humble opinion, the state should not only release him from debt, but also pay back the money he paid to them, as well as pay him restitution for incarcerating him.

The store at CNN falls short though. It names the judge who released him from the debt, but not the one who ordered him incarcerated. Could this be a situation where the judge owns a state in the jail where the inmate is sent?

How does it make sense to incarcerate someone for non-payment to the state, especially when they simply don’t have the money? It will undoubtedly end up costing the state more money.
