Everyone needs a place to live. Everyone needs a place to come home to every night. I don't understand why our society, our government, can think that you can lock a person away for months or years... and then release them back after they pay their debt without any support and expect it to be okay.

And locking them up does not solve the problem. Did locking me up make me better? No, it did not. It made my struggle harder.
