> Give me the context in which pooping anywhere, any number of times seems reasonable to punish with significant jail time. Sure, even doing it just once if I were to do it in your living room. Or in front of your house, if I had a reasonable alternative. > Yes, there should be some form of discouragement from this but making sure people have access to a toilet seems a lot easier. Okay, so you are fine with arresting anyone who simply won't use the provided toilet? Great. What if I don't put the toilet right in my yard, but put the toilet over there somewhere, so you're not all up in my space? Why is 'right here' the magical place where people must camp and poop? > Jail does not help people. It is statistically shown to make their lives materially worse, make them less healthy and make them more likely to commit further crimes. That's far from true in all contexts. Unhoused criminals on the streets of a modern drug city face incredible risk from being left to live in the camps, and jail doesn't necessarily mean supermax anyways. > Treatment sure, I'm all for it. Even when it doesn't work. How wonderfully liberal. I'm for forcing people into the treatment that's proven to work rather than kindly letting them die horribly.
