Weeks, months, years?
Courts don't seem to enforce these orders of restitution.
Example is former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who owes over $800, 000 in restitution and has only paid a pittance of it in the last 10 years since he agreed to pay as part of a plea bargain.
August 2024; According to the federal government, Kilpatrick still owes $831,913.70 for crimes he was convicted of more than a decade ago, including bribery, extortion and fraud. His last restitution payment of $150 was made in March.
"Kilpatrick has a history of spending his money on a lavish lifestyle rather than paying off his obligations. (He) has only made a little over $5,000 in payments towards his restitution obligation in this case. Yet, as recently as 2022, (Kilpatrick) and his wife sought to raise $800,000 to purchase a residence in a gated, luxury community in Orlando, Florida," Edmunds wrote in an order last year, in which she denied Kilpatrick's request to end his supervised release early so he could travel more freely as a pastor.
