Why isn't this discrimination on the part of the justice system?

If you commit a felony, and are convicted of the felony, how is that discrimination? We have to accept the consequences of our actions - that includes the fact that a lot of employers do not want to hire criminals. In any event, there is a potential equal protection violation. I would suggest that the person take responsibility and explain he will pay and has every intention of paying once he is able to locate a job. In addition, have him doent those actions. If he is eventually thrown in jail, he might have a potential constitutional challenge.
