``The poster case for government persecution of the down-and-out would have 
to be Edwina Nowlin, a homeless Michigan woman who was jailed in 2009 for 
failing to pay $104 a month to cover the room-and-board charges for her 
16-year-old son's incarceration. When she received a back paycheck, she 
thought it would allow her to pay for her son's jail stay. Instead, it was 
confiscated and applied to the cost of her own incarceration...'' Barbara
