I think this is why the whole marijuana de-criminalization is happening. After
50 years of the non-working "war on drugs", people are willing to try something
different.
Makes a good argument for setting up experimental laws that can fail fast, and
get replaced by a different theoretical solution.

There is nothing so broken as a broken bureaucracy.

I have an employee that was supposed to pay a “fee” to his parole officer

We have attempted to help him pay.
They will not take a credit card unless we can prove that he has
permission from us, which they have refused to believe when we call them.
They will not give a receipt for a cash payment.
They will not take a certified check.
They will take a western union for a $24 surcharge.
And until he gets this paid (with penalties mounting every day) he cannot
get his driver’s license back.

You know what they say about doing the same thing over and over.
If you don't try doing something different, you may never know what will
work, and what doesn't
It's clear what they were doing was not working. People would get thrown
in the slammer for a minor offense, and not be able to post bail right away.
When they eventually posted bail, they had lost their $7/hour job because they
didn't show for a few days. Then they couldn't repay the bond. Then they would
get thrown in jail for not paying that, rinse, repeat.
It ends up being a tax on being poor. Kind of a dumb way to run things.
In fairness, this isn't for every offender. There is a list of criteria
regarding the degree of the offense, risks to the community, and so on.
It has worked well in some other areas already. CA is not breaking new
ground here.
