[QUOTE]A 50-year-old Indian woman has been released from prison, 19 years after she was granted bail. Vijay Kumari was unable to post the necessary amount of about $180 (£120) to secure her release - so she stayed in prison until the son, who she gave birth to while in jail, got her out.[/QUOTE] It's hard to think how he would have worked, to get a seemingly small amount to most of us. That's most of the article right there, there is a video in the [URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22677788"]Source[/URL] though.

That's shocking.
-snip nevermind-
It took him 19 years to make 180 dollars? Must be a pretty shitty economy.
The average income is about 0.40 USD per hour apparently.
[QUOTE=martijnp3000;40802042]The average income is about 0.40 USD per hour apparently.[/QUOTE] For those who don't feel like calculating, that's 450 hours of work for $180.
[QUOTE=Zatar963;40802078]For those who don't feel like calculating, that's 450 hours of work for $180.[/QUOTE] don't forget that he had to pay for his own food, probably pay for a place to live in and so on, so it's very likely that it took much more than 450 hours.
fuck this gay earth
People fucking amaze me. She was in jail for 20~ years, but was able to bond out for $180?????
Didn't she have a trial or anything? That's ridiculous
She could have gotten out if she knew law or tried to get better representation...but if she couldn't afford the $180, good luck with legal fees. [b]Edit[/b]: Never mind, it is in India! I don't know their law at all, but I assume it's quite different.
Makes you think about how easily one of us could bail out someone and make that person happier than any of you could ever be with $180.
[QUOTE=Iago;40802012]It took him 19 years to make 180 dollars? Must be a pretty shitty economy.[/QUOTE] Imagine what you can buy with the money your earn here.
I can see this being some kind of rich super villain plot. Pay the bail of thousands of criminals and then just wait and see what happens.
