Jail Better Than Freezing To Death

The homeless in Oklahoma City have decided jail is a better alternative than the streets or shelters, during this dramatic cold weather gripping the country.

Personally I don’t blame them. Staying outside in this weather is sure to kill you and homeless shelters aren’t that much safer. But some of the homeless in Oklahoma City have been making a habit of this for years. They commit petty crimes that will ensure they get at leat 30 days in jail. Thee they are given three hot meals a day, a warm place to live and any medical attention they need.

I’m sure this is happening all over the country and not just where it is bitterly cold. If you think about it, they’ve been in and out of the system already, society looks down on them and treats them like dirt, I’d rather have the jails take care of me than die of exposure or worse on the street.
