Like the homeless to get the three hot meals, free medical care and stuff. Have you heard of anything like this before?

yes- there was an 'in-depth' news thing several months ago about a person going to prison for the medical coverage...
he robbed a bank [ gave the teller a note, no gun ] and then waited for the cops...

Sure they do. It's probably a lot more common than most people think, especially when the weather turns cold. I've known of several people who break the law intending to get charged and sentenced to jail.
Then you have people who go to prison for a long period of time and become "institutionalized". After their release, some of them don't know how to exist in society any longer and commit another crime just so they can go back "home".

Yes, there are people who have been institutionalized by the system, and they do prefer to stay incarcerated. I am not one of them, and value my freedom. I do my best to stay out of jail.
I agree with a lot of answers here. But what I have found is the homeless tend to go to alcohol rehabilitation centers, psychiatric wards and homeless shelters in the winters.

Some people have been in prison so long that that is what they know and are comfortable with. They are not comfortable being out and having to make their own decisions and such. These types of people may not actually intentionally get caught or commit crimes, but they don't really care.

I don't think anyone gets comfortable in prison. It is the need that drive them to the edge of doing this. Who knows what these people have to go through? cold, homeless, et

on the danger of being executed for racism the following - definite. I stay in outback Australia, and it truly is a truth of existence the following that countless the aboriginal inhabitants stay in poverty using cultural topics, alcoholism, drugs, abuse, and so on. 2 of our outback prisons have razor cord on the exterior. you already know why? to quit human beings getting into. those all and distinctive is determined, so they'll thieve and commit petty crimes in order that they are regularly despatched to penitentiary. In penitentiary, they get 3 food an afternoon, aircon and cable television - isn't that more suitable suitable than ravenous contained in the outback?

Yes. Especially people who have previously been in the system. After being released they end up going back into prison cuz they don't know how to ajust being back in mainsociety. So they go back to what they know best, institutionalization.

of course.
as the above said, it's free food, rent, medical, even T.V. it makes perfect sense if you know there is nothing you can do about being homeless.
Did you know it costs more then 50$ daily per prisoner? (this is with extra stuff)
