On bail for 19 years, son born in jail works to raise $172 bond for mother
http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/30/world/asia/india-bail/index.html
(CNN) -- In a story that could step straight from the pages of a Charles Dickens novel, an Indian son has worked night and day in a garment factory to earn the bail money to get his mother out of jail.
This month, after ceaseless work stitching in the textile factory, Kanhaiya Kumari, 19, raised the 5,000 rupees (about $89) needed pay his mother's surety.
The rest at link.....after reading this, we are lucky to have the system we have in the U.S., although there are problems at times.
