    If they don't show up to court the same thing happens. They will have a warrant issues for their arrest and be chased down while they can also be convicted in absence. If you are worried about this sort of thing have the rich pay more in taxes and better fund incarceration facilities and the local government so they can house more inmates. This really is more of a funding issue most likely because the local processing jail is limited in size so they make choices to put people out on bail, home incarcerate, put people into rehab over prison, or even shorten sentences to free up bed space.

    The reality is even with a conviction these guys will have options to get themselves out much earlier than a minimum sentence because they can count the prisoner as incarcerated while they are out on early release programs or shuffle them off on parole or probation which are funded differently but still receive taxpayer money for people on the roles.

    This is the system that we have made. You need to spend money to incarcerate and hold people, and our elected officials get the first bite before it goes for holding prisoners. Tax the rich or stop your bitching.

    my county loves to fine the dog-shit out of you. Most people in my county have way more money than they have time, and every day in jail means one less day on the job earning that money. So they pretty much get you "in the system" of fines/probation where you will be paying a shit-ton when you add everything up. It eases overcrowding but the jail still justifies its existence by booking & processing a sizable percentage of the total population - it's a brilliant business model!
