For once the ACLU gets it right. It is inexcusable and should be illegal to throw anyone in jail just for owing money, especially when law enforcement has plenty of real, dangerous criminals with which it could be dealing.

Can you explain to me why taking property (not just real estate) and not paying is different than theft?

It is probably more accurate to say they are jailed for comtempt of court than money owed.
