      Being in prison or the juvenile court system is rarely an improvement regardless of how much your life sucks.

        For you maybe. There’s plenty of people in situations where having a place to sleep and food through the day would be a major improvement in their lives.

          In the most unpleasant and desperate situations, sure. I’ve heard of homeless people who commit crimes to get somewhere safe to stay, which is obviously a sign we’ve failed many people as a society.
