 Debtor's Prison
By forcing debtors to become fully responsible for their debts, and by not allowing them to avoid payment of a debt by remaining idle or remaining poor, we would very likely bring more responsible behavior to other areas of their lives.
Apart from the benefit debtors prisons would have on making it easier for the poor to succeed in business by allowing them to collect from their debtors, more readily available credit would also make it easier for the poor to start businesses or to otherwise make meaningful investments.
If my prospective clients faced the prospect of debtors prison if they refused to pay their bill, I would seldom refuse clients simply because they were unable to pay my bill when they walked in the door.

 In re Randall L. MUNGER, Debtor.
We hold that Debtor did not possess such a right upon filing the Chapter 12 petition, because Debtor's rights in the subject property were extinguished upon the pre-petition recording of the certified copy of the judgment.

Debtor did not file his petition until nearly five months after the expiration of the redemption period, when it was too late.

The debtor testified that between 1995 and 2000, she made monthly payments of $337.04 for student loans at a time when her yearly income was less than it is currently.
Based on his examination of the debtor and of her medical records, Dr. Joseph concluded the debtor was capable of returning to the practice of law, and her decision to terminate her legal practice was a matter of choice rather than medical necessity.
Because the debtor now derives sufficient income both to pay her student loan and to preserve a minimal living standard, her student loan obligations are not dischargeable in the present instance.
