What do you mean?

one example: it costs ~90k to feed and house someone in prison for 1 year, but only ~17k (it depends) to feed and house someone not in prison, yet instead of feeding and housing the homeless, the usonian government incarcerates them

Huh, I have never heard of someone going to jail for being homeless.

Not sure if homelessness is the direct cause, might be just loitering or obnoxious behavior cause alcohol or something…?

neither of those should get you in jail.

You can go to jail for disruptive behavior, so that’s probably why.
