JobCorps.Gov: free job training, food, housing and living allowance

We explicitly ban bad behaviour in wider society and people still do it and still ruin many innocent people's lives as a result. Drunk driving, violence, disturbing the peace, stealing, coming home drunk and beating your family, etc.

These people need rigid structure and strict rules so they can get passed the hurdles that are easy for the rest of us but hard for them.

We need more of these kinds of programs, especially for convicts and othere societal degenerates. We either help them or let them rot far away from the rest of us, and I vote we at least try help them.

Agreed! It's about creating an environment exclusive of people practicing vices as one precondition for success.

If you're an alcoholic, it's going to be extremely difficult to stay on the wagon if there's a guy who offers you a drink every day... while you're trying to do something difficult, with all the intermittent failures and tough days that entails.

What's the worst way to combat poverty? Put all impoverished people together. What's the best way to combat poverty? Teach different behaviors and put some impoverished people in better environments, with non-impoverished people.

If someone is working to change their life, they deserve at least a neutral-to-positive environment in which to do that.
