Ms. Bautista said she is working overtime — as many as 19 hours a day — since the arrest. “Sometimes I work from 6:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. because what I earn is not enough,” she said. “I have to pay the bills, buy my son diapers. I also have to send money back to my parents in Guatemala. It’s just not enough.”

Ms. Bautista had to find a roommate to share her $700 monthly rent. She spends another $200 per month on telephone calls from her husband and sends whatever money she has left to her husband so he can buy food and hygiene products in jail.

Life isn't fair and they put themselves in a seriously precarious position.

Most of these sob stories seem to mention the purchase of expensive diapers...

I had 6 dozen cloth diapers for my babies and washed them out...

But then I’m just a gringa...

Doing for my children what the illegal aliens wont do for theirs..

My questions after reading the article...

1.Doesn’t the prison provide 3 meals a day?
2.Doesn’t their religion teach them not to lie, cheat or steal?
3.Is this woman legal?
