"In Texas, the average arrears payment that a father owes who's been incarcerated coming out of prison is $8,000. When he comes out with high levels of arrears, he's less likely to enter into the formal labor market and have his wages immediately garnished, so it just sends him back to the underground economy and the chances of recidivism and incarceration are really high."
