I've never heard of a jail capacity shortage in America, so could someone provide some data on this?
- asdff 2y agoIts highly locally dependent. In LA county the jails are pretty full and have about 12000 inmates in the system. There are over 75,000 homeless people in LA county. Its just not realistic that anyone goes to jail over this unless they are causing a safety issue or a significant disturbance to the community.
