i would this is a little drastic, dont you think?
how would he pay it pack if he is behind bars, and would he feel like paying it if he gets out,....dont thinks so
he has hit rock bottom, he has no money, no credit, he has a daughter...where is he going to go?
lets see how see how serious he is in attempting to pay back the money before speaking to his probation officer. I would definitely let his family know what little johhny has been up to though
