You mean prison could be better than the streets..

I did yes. Having someone in prison is also expensive, giving someone proper care and housing them is imo the best solution. What made me write that is because of how hard live on the streets is and how many more health hazards there for someone sleeping outdoor compared to someone in prison. It obviously isn't fair to be locked up for 15 years, but if i had some kind of certainty i would remain homeless for that same time, I think I'd rather be in prison. But again, certainly not saying it's fair to lock him up that long for such a small amount of money and also not saying the other guy is punished enough for such a major amount of money.
