People who are poor, especially people of color, face a far greater risk of being fined, arrested, and even incarcerated for minor offenses. Many innocuous acts such as soliciting financial help, sitting on a sidewalk, or sleeping in a park, can all result in jail time. To make matters worse, in Ohio you could be charged fees to pay for that jail time!
