Over a quarter-million Jordanians face complaints of debt delinquency and around 2,630 people, about 16 percent of Jordan's prison population, were locked up for nonpayment of loans and bounced checks in 2019"--Summary. 650 0 $a Debt, Imprisonment for $z Jordan. 710 2 $a Human Rights Watch (Organization), $e publisher. 776 08 $i Online version: $t "We lost everything" : debt imprisonment in Jordan 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5FB75406E9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
