It seems like society has a number of folks who aren't hardened criminals but also aren't quite suited for a free society. I often wonder if we need something between jail and freedom("halfway house"?) that lets folks live a somewhat free life where they are prevented from harming others and their property. On the one hand it is creepy and somewhat Orwellian to suggest something like that. Once it exists, it would surely be used to house more and more classes of society. On the other hand, there are a number of problems caused by folks who chose to reject societies rules but not so severely that they are jailed(or the threshold for jailing them has changed due to overcrowding?). Certainly the economic divide does not help, along with an economy that has less and less use for people of lesser skills. A UBI would be one way of addressing this I guess.
