Genuinely interested how people who narrowly miss jail feel

[ΛΟΓΟΣ]

my country has enacted deinstitutionalization a decade or so ago. nowadays there are hostile, littered and isolated areas that were once common public spaces filled with zombies that roam free. once they run out of things to exchange for their drugs, they start doing 'minor crime' such as unarmed theft or 'pickpocketing.' they of course rarely go to jail and if they do, they spend very little time there. those people clearly have no forethought or developed conscience of their doings so its brutal to have them not locked up indefinitely somewhere
