They want free prison labor instead of helping people. All programs that gave people shelter and UBI had high success rates of getting people off the streets. If you give people resources and real help. They can be housed, it isn't unsolvable at all.

They don't even really want that, at this point. Prisoners are increasingly geriatric, malnourished, and prone to mental illness, making them unreliable employees at their best and completely unprofitable more often than not.

Ah, but you're forgetting the mystery third option. Pack undesirable people into cages during a plague or a heat wave and kill them from behind bars. This is significantly less expensive than either enslaving them at a loss or funding housing/UBI.

Jail.

That's the answer.

You'll sleep in jail. Possibly for the rest of your life.

Also the cop will beat the shit out of you now for mouthing off.

and in jail each resident will cost tax payers approximately $80,000.00 per year on average.

Sure, but it will make a private security contractor and private prison company have great returns for investors!
