It's why we have such a cultural aversion to rounding up homeless people and putting them in a shelter. We've tried it in the past and it was unpalatable and ineffective. We've tried getting people help but telling them they're free to go, and they usually end up going because they can't be compelled to stay. It's a very complicated problem to solve here because the bill of rights is meant to protect the 'undesirables' that a majority can easily oppress - homeless, rebels, drug users, convicts, etc.
