Disadvantaged Families Hit Hard By Counties Collecting Fees After Kids Are Arrested

kpcc

A new report finds that some California families are losing their homes and being driven into bankruptcy by the fees counties charge when kids get arrested -- with little to no profit to taxpayers.  More from KVCR's Ken Vincent.

Ken Vincent has retired. We appreciate the way he shared his expertise with many of our young interns and reporters over the nearly eight years he spent as KVCR's lead journalist and Morning Edition host. We wish him a happy and relaxing retirement as he spends more time in his garden and, as he mentioned, more time on the golf course. Thanks Ken!
