Si un prisionero quiere presentar una queja, tiene que pagar una parte de una cuota. Si no tiene dinero, aún puede presentar la queja, pero si no paga, pueden cerrar su caso.
Es como cuando un estudiante quiere inscribirse en un curso, pero solo tiene suficiente dinero para pagar una parte de la matrícula. Puede comenzar el curso, pero si no paga el resto, el profesor podría decirle que no puede continuar.

Cada mes, cuando su cuenta tiene más de $10, se le descuentan $10 hasta que pague toda la cuota o hasta que pueda presentar su queja sin que lo cierren.
