"Patricia Spottedcrow was sentenced to 12 years in prison over selling $31 of marijuana.
She was 25, a single mother, and a first-time offender. "
"the 34-year-old was arrested on a bench warrant that required her to stay in jail until she could come up with $1,139.90 in overdue fees, which she didn’t have. Nearly a decade after her initial arrest, she was still ensnarled in the criminal justice system, and had no idea when she would see her kids again."
