In fact it motivates ppl that dont have a lot going for them to engage in criminal behavior.

This is the most ridiculous thing that I've read all day.

How?
If you had no food and lived on the street.
Why not do something bad, go to jail and get all the basic needs all for free?
Would you like that? Or to sit outside in the -30 temperature begging for pennies and dimes? [/b][/quote]
You state your case as if it were commonplace for people to commit crimes so they can go to jail for food and shelter.
It is really ridiculous for two reasons:
1) Most people don't like to give up their freedom in the way that jail forces you to.
2) Grass roots social programs actually go a long way towards feeding the destitute.
