Sorry my statement was ambiguous. I mean we send those people to prison instead of trying to help them. So then prisons become the those things, but shittier.
Well, of course we usually only send people to prison if they’ve actually committed a felony, for homeless related stuff (that I don’t even think should be a crime, but what am I gonna do) it’s usually no more than a few days in jail or straight up catch and release. Prison is usually reserved for sentences longer than 2y.
Pretty sure those are prison a lot of the time.
Mostly the issue is shelters drug test and have curfews, and even then they fill up quick and have problems with theft and shit.
