> When you take people from one place, and offer them a Hobson's choice of jail or a housing not nearby in another place, it has a specific term: "concentration camp".

So just let people live outside indefinitely? You can offer help but a lot of them will turn it down, then what? Now consider that a lot of these people are hurting themselves and insisting on continuing down that path, which inevitably leads to their death. In other words, doing nothing means people destroy themselves, and doing something requires force because many these people are not in the right state of mind to help themselves.
