Homeless situation....

I get it, and don't disagree in the abstract. But I think that, in the real world, the implementation is not going to really be feasible. Plus you're essentially recreating a debtors prison, and I don't think there would be room constitutionally for that to happen in our country.

I don't think its a debtors prison because no one is profiting from the work. The work is used to maintain the facilities that they are utilizing. They grow the food they eat. They clean the dishes they use. They clean the laundry of the cloths they where, they clean the tents/buildings that they live in, they clean the rec area's they use. They maintain the grounds of the area. This way the money the tax payer has to spend goes to basic mental health, substance abuse and health care serves. they are choosing to earn the benefits they are receiving. Thats why its not a debtors prison and that way the tax payer is not coddling them for all these basic needs.
