You’re almost there, and I sincerely value your input. Let’s go on this journey together…
What if we treated them like human beings in need of care and rehabilitation instead of criminals who can’t “hold down a job”?
Why do they not make it out of poverty?
Is it because they can’t afford to? Why is that?
Is it because they can’t afford to make ends meet on a minimum wage job? Can’t find affordable housing? Can’t pay for child care, counseling, health care, or rehab?
What if we helped them get rid of their addiction and didn’t jail them for it?
If we’re going to write off an entire vulnerable demographic of society, we as the functional members have an obligation to ensure that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are available to all. Not just those who can afford it.
Many other first world countries do this successfully already, the problem with our country comes down to the money being made keeping these people locked up and incarcerated.
Look up Norway, Finland, Sweden and their response to crime and rehabilitation. It works, if you focus on helping people instead of helping profits.
Imagine a world where those in need got the billions of dollars in tax payer subsidies that Elon Musk gets?
