wage garnishment in prison (BANKRUPTCY & CONSUMER CREDIT)

Wed, 08 Feb 2006 20:09:00 GMT

someone owes me several thousand dollars from a personal "loan" about a year ago in pennsylvania. since i never received a single penny from him, i took the matter to court and won. the problem is that i'm still not getting anything out of him anyway. i would file to have his wages garnished, but unfortunately he is a real loser and does not have a job. he is, however, going to prison at the end of this month for an unrelated matter. i am wondering if there is a way that i can have him put to work in prison and garnish his wages there?

    They don't make much in prison. How much are you hoping to collect?
    The answer to your question is no you can't have his wages ganished in prison.
