Thousands in Ohio too poor to pay debts, jailed with no trial (VIDEO)

The group has revealed figures showing a rising number of people who fail to pay their debts and fines end up behind bars without a court verdict.

The practice is being criticized as unconstitutional, but it's alive and kicking in the State of Ohio, as RT's Marina Portnaya explains.
