If he owes money, then they should bill him for it or use a judgement to garnish some of his millions in wages from making movies. Not throw him in jail, because if he's behind bars, he can't make movies for them to get their money on.

But imprisonment with the bastards who are convicted murderers, rapists and the such, where the cops and prosecutors joke about guys getting married to bunk mates named Big Bubba and Mr. Biff? Shouldn't happen for a non-crime where there is no public law on the books for.

It's sad but true. You don't have to be guilty of anything to end up in prison these days, even to the point of going on death row for some.
