Interesting take on this topic. I enjoyed reading this one and looking over a few others (albeit some of the handwriting was a little difficult to read but thats ok). To answer your questions: No Im not a virgin nor in love nor do I believe love is hard. It is work, patience, commitment, happiness, and everything else that comes with it. But if at anytime love becomes hard, it probably isnt love anymore.
This is the third or fourth time I have regretted purchasing the audiobook version of The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. She devotes a healthy amount of time to the subject. I should tread carefully here because I am unable to cite examples, and as you pointed out there are many nuances.
What I can say without the book is, yes, it exists and for nearly any crime. In about a third of the States it's required. If I'm understanding it correctly, restitution is payable for things you'd typically find in damages (to victims, families, and third parties for medical, loss of wages, funeral, etc.). However, it is not "punishment" in the way that legal damages are although in some cases you can "trade" for more time served. This looks like a credible overview and there is a state by state breakdown on the side: http://www.aardvarc.org/victim/restitution.shtml
I should remove the word "liquidated". Although I know the book spoke about liquidation, I cannot recall the specific context (drug profit, willfully selling of property due to loss of income, restitution, etc.). Similarly, I hadn't considered time of payment; paid immediately, automatically garnished wages during, or post incarceration. So I should also stay away from claiming that it is possible one already paid them.
It seems like SAH might be familiar with them so perhaps she can elaborate, too.

Coercive force is traditionally visualized in physical terms. In this form it is easily definable, clear-cut and unambiguous. Coercive psychological force unfortunately has not been so easy to see and define. The law has been ahead of the physical sciences in that it has allowed that coercion need not involve physical force. It has recognized that an individual can be threatened and coerced psychologically by what he or she perceives to be dangerous, not necessarily by that which is dangerous. Law has recognized that even the threatened action need not be physical. Threats of economic loss, social ostracism and ridicule, among other things, are all recognized by law, in varying contexts, as coercive psychological forces. Why are Coercive Psychological Systems Harmful? Coercive psychological systems violate our most fundamental concepts of basic human rights. They violate rights of individuals that are guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and affirmed by many declarations of principle worldwide. By confusing, intimidating and silencing their victims, those who profit from these systems evade exposure and prosecution for actions recognized as harmful and which are illegal in most countries such as: fraud, false imprisonment, undue influence, involuntary servitude, intentional infliction of emotional distress, outrageous conduct and other tortuous acts.

You make a good case for the fact that mistakes have value, but it needs to be harvested, or they will be repeated.
Thank you for sharing this experience and the truth you gained from going through it!
