Meanwhile, in Corner Brook Wednesday, a 16-year-old male resident of the town was arrested as a result of an ongoing investigation for breaching conditions of three different court orders.

He was released in the custody of his mother to appear in court at a later date.

I guess you have did no time in prison (paying your debt to society) which is a good thing but for one minute do not think there is no booze or drugs in prisons because they are full of it.

If people do not pay the fines then place them in jail. 6 months of jail should be sufficient for $27 grand in outstanding fines. No freedom, lousy food, no booze or drugs for 6 months - now that is real punishment for those people.
