@TonyStark I'm with this 100%. No one should be criminalized because they are hungry, sick, without safe shelter, or access to education and training to better themselves.

If you have all those things and are still a criminal then so be it, there will be consequences - but mostly rehabilitation not pure punitive ones.

If you have all those things and choose to do the minimum to get by then also, so be it. That's a failure of society to inspire the populace to contribute and further itself.
