You mean prison could be better than the streets… I’d say that’s not entirely false. Kind of based on the raw numbers etc… bottom line we spend more money on dealing with problems caused by people in homelessness (both crimes of despiration, making hostile architecture and policing to keep them swept under the rugs and shoved into the outskirts of town, saving their lives in the ER when they collapse from hypothermia, than it actually would cost to house them).
there’s something to be said for a roof, a bed, and a hot meal. And I’m with you 100%. The problems of homelessness, especially in the US, should be solveable. We’ve currently got more units than households. Rent should be cheap, but they’ve been colluding (and there have been court cases about it).
Not saying this is fair, but prison could be better then prison. Dont know the details, obviously.
financial crimes prison system is amazing. i wish i could live there
