outrage?
Bernie, they are convicts, doing their time. Joe helps them realize it’s not worth repeat offending, coming back and wasting more tax payer money and years of their life.
bernie and his sort are clueless - such enablers. Tent city is “tough love” type, more rehabilitative then cushy indoor jail perks. I know a number of folks who’ve stayed there and count it as a helpful time in getting their lives turned positive.
I knew someone who spent some time in tent city. He had been found guilty of driving drunk. When he got out he said he would never ever ever go back. He never did. Must be effective.
