A court in Mississippi banned a woman from contact with her baby because she had not paid fines.

The article makes it clear that this is part of the general US practice of loading down the poor with fines they can't pay. It is noteworthy that the mother was jailed while looking for work. It is clear that the system is designed so that the fines cannot be paid.
