I don't think most employers would be lining up at the door to hire people who presumably have no recent work history but would either need to be paid enough to be able to afford bay area housing within two months or have to be fired after they're unable to show up to work due to being incarcerated. This just sounds like "throw them all in jail" but with extra steps to try to maintain the moral high ground.
