Danny Bearden, Tunnel Hill, Ga.

Offense: Breaking into a trailer.

Punishment: Two years in prison.

About this case: In 1981, when Bearden could not afford to pay his fines and restitution, he was sent to jail. Two years later, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Bearden v. Georgia that judges can’t jail people just because they are too poor to pay their fines.

Court debt: $750.

The NY Train Project allows people to “travel one of New York’s often overlooked treasures, the New York City subway.”

Art director/designer Adam Chang created the online gallery of tiles in subway stations after noticing the intricate details of the signs. 

According to the project’s website, he has spent 20 hours riding and waiting on trains, swiped his card nine times and covered 118 stations. 

"I hope this gallery can serve as not only a tribute to the history of the subway stations but also as a quick guide to getting around New York via the MTA," writes Chang.
