Tampa, Florida: Homeless People Thrown in Jail For...Sleeping?
Mass incarceration: the answer to all our problems. Last week, the city council passed two ordinances that ban panhandling in much of the city and allow police to arrest people
for sleeping or storing their stuff in public spaces. Courts have
previously ruled that public behaviors people must engage in to stay
alive, like sleeping and eating, cannot be banned without ensuring the
resources that provide them with alternatives, but the council did not
increase funding for shelters or transitional housing at Alter Net. What they are saying about us: The state of florida doesn't even deserve a capital letter. It's a fetid swamp. Hey Tampa, "Stupid is as stupid does.
