nope. Costs money to have people in jail.


Yeah but it's not like they are the ones paying, so they don't care lol.
If you ever had a job, it supports that, although sales tax fund it more due to it being a whole state thing, and prison are state funded. Kinda like schools.
I'm pretty sure everyone knows that. I think the idea is, from the homeless person's point of view, prison may actually be a better alternative to living on the street.

Whether or not it actually is, I don't know.

I heard someone say once (paraphrasing here) "Multiflag on Blood Gulch with your friends is what makes Halo, Halo." I GUARANTEE that more people agree with that sentiment than "Getting a 50 in MLG is what makes Halo, Halo." - Oboewan42

Just started thinking about all the homeless people who have to brace against winter and survive summer with little to no money..... And honestly it looks like they will have a much better life in jail.....

Free food, free home, a bathroom, people to talk to( or get hurt by), a damn fitness center....

If I was a homeless dude I'd view it was a win-win situation.... I would try to rob a house, bank, whatever, and if I get caught I go to jail (free home) If I don't get caught then free money.... lol.

Thoughts?


Quite a few actually do that ya know...

This. I've known guys that would steal bags of oranges from the grocery store in the fall, then wait on the front steps for the police to arrive and put them in jail for 6 months.

Meh, I would rather try and rob cash registers and see how far that would take me. If I get caught then coo, I still get sent to a free home lol. Believe it or not some people actually like the prison life....

Oh, did I mention a free library?
