I agree. The right to a speedy trial not being observed is an issue.

This is only local jails, which makes sense as people are waiting trial then move on to long term prison.

This is surprisingly low. If the average family put all their expenses on a card and pays it off every month it won’t be far off this.

What is the average amount that people are actually paying interest on?

The increase should be capped at inflation. Currently mine go up 10% every year. I pay more in tax than I ever paid in rent. I’ll have to buy a tent in another decade at this rate.
