Sure are a lot of homeless people not in prison for what you're claiming.
I was homeless and police literally made up a reason to put me in jail and label me as a felon to make me be cheap labor when I plead guilty just to get out. No fair and speedy trial during COVID. I live in the US.
What the law tells you it's doing and what they're actually doing are very different. Don't try to tell me different because I'm a first hand example. If you're interested in the full story, let me know and I can do a Discord call or something.
Prison would be a step up for a lot of them. They receive other punishments, like having all their belongings confiscated wherever a cop or some bureaucrat decides they're getting in the way too much.
