Quote of the Day

“When fees are required to access diversion or treatment programs as an alternative to incarceration, the result is a two-tiered system of justice — one for those who can pay and one for those who cannot. This breeds distrust of our justice system and undermines public confidence in our courts.”

-Judy Perry Martinez, president of the American Bar Association. [Tulsa World]
