Even if they did, do you really want to pay more taxes to throw them in jail for 50$ worth of food? For the homeless folks, that's basically a paid vacation.
When you have folks on the street committing crime just to try and get into jail and off the streets, the system is broken.
Could have sworn I read a story of a homeless guy that would walk into a bank with a note that says “this is a robbery” or some such, then waits to be arrested. Never used a weapon, never tried to fight back or escape. Why? Because he wanted to go back to prison. Three meals a day, roof over your head. Better than freezing to death inches away from a warm room.
