The ACLU did a writeup on it. This seems to me to be a fairly recent phenomenon (within the last 20-30 years). Another example of the corruption of our government generally favoring business interests at the cost of citizens. It's so bad now, we have debtor's prisons now all except in name. We just call it regular prison.
