\u201cIf you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to you at no cost.\u201d Ask the average American, and they will tell you that Public Defenders are free\u2026. Unless of course you live in most states where they charge you something for getting a Public Defender. If you live in Iowa, this means you could pay up to the entire cost of your representation even if you are found not guilty or the charges are dropped. Joining Hunter today is Alex Kornya from Iowa Legal Aid to discuss the history, legality, and future of the fines and fees trapping thousands of Iowans in perpetual debt.
