Instead the homeless adult alcoholic drug users, many of whom have schizophrenia or something, just end up doing short ugly jail sentences,
that screw them up more
then they are released with no money, back out on to the streets to use serious drugs and drink to alleviate the pain, they were already alcoholics and serious drug users to begin with
they live on the street next to my college downtown and don't have much to live or work for so they get arrested and reprocessed again
people in this demographic really make up the great majority of arrests, time and money spent
It's a little like the Village,
enormous amounts of state money are spent on foster kids, to put them in PV, even though most have done nothing, the state puts kids who have been molested or a relative dies or something in PV because PV bills itself as a place to “help” the abused
but instead of it being a sensible program that helps them with job or life skills, it's abusive and only sets them up to have more problems, rather than teaching them how to go to the community college and get a EMS certification or something.
the kids at PV it's worse because they are bright very young teens, many of whom are in for something that happened to them,
who it would be much easier teach sound life skills to and help find good jobs.
Instead they spend 150,000.00 or more of tax dollars to have them beat up on and "broken down" and basically "mangle" them rather than help them, while PV makes a mint
Psy said something about affirmative action, that is why I said the schools did not become desegregated around here till the early 70's even though Brown vs. Board of education was in 1954
Busing was a lot of stress for everyone though?
even now some schools are not desegregated really and schools in poorer areas do not get as much funding, which is certainly bad
