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?

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. [/b][/quote]

Where did I say that it was common?
Dont put words in my mouth.
All I suggested is that it was a free way to get out of there current situation.
1) Most people don't like to give up their freedom in the way that jail forces you to.
Ahhhhh, when you have no home, no money and no food, I dont think your freedom is your number one concern. I think getting food and shelter would be?
Or is that ridiculous as well?
Grass roots social programs actually go a long way towards feeding the destitute.
Riggggggght, hence all the people on the streets that are beging for money.
Now I am not suggesting that these people are going to commit a crime, but that option for them and a better life is there.
