Who wants to get dragged through court - and there was a very good chance of Mr. Penny being convicted and sent to jail.
No one is going to take that risk, unfortunately, getting sued for being a Good Samaritan.
Poor farms or low-security prisons would be ideal.
AA meetings inside jail. Mandatory religious services every day.
In about three months they will be in a lot better shape and maybe good enough to discharge.
That is, if they have a job to go to and the drug supply is cleaned up. Lots of "Ifs" there but nothing like the two trillion needlessly spent during the Biden administration.
Heck if they can rebuild the Notre Dame cathedral for three quarters of a billion, for the two trillion wasted during Biden's admin (that's 53 Notre-Dame-rebuilds per state in the whole USA) we could have a whole network of HUGE debtors/vagrants/homeless camps or prisons. With the leftover money we could have a high speed rail network to rival the interstate highway system in passenger capacity.
Get these druggies working and they will be grateful and dry out at the same time.
Who can care for them? I guess I would bust rioting Antifa people and conscript them, as an alternative sentence to jail for subversive activities and sedition.
After their terms, deport or exile the Antifas to Russia, China, or North Korea.

That is what God does.

I support Penny, but we apply the “Good Samaritan” too frequently and generically.
The original story explicitly did not involve becoming a hero by fighting the bad guys.
It was a story primarily illustrating Jesus’ teachings on “race” and the relationship between this and the far more important issues of mercy, forgiveness, love, and salvation.
