50% of the prison population was there for minor charges such as caught with drugs or knives on their person. The fines were always around $65-85 or 4 to 6 months. 95% of them did the 4 to 6 months because Tijuana is so poverty stricken.
I didn't make the fines, but since we were expecting a $10,000 fine I won't argue with $1,200.
