> Those who are convicted of sleeping outdoors could be given the option to avoid jail time by instead entering into a mandatory treatment program for at least 12 months. The bill authorizes local governments to set up semi-permanent camps in remote areas, where defendants would be required to stay and receive treatment.

So basically state funded mandatory rehab for everyone ?

Doesn't the article say they have to pay for it themselves?

While your quote is meant to be snarky, my understanding is that sign isn't at Dachau any longer
It seems strange that they removed the sign after the fact. Unless it was to prevent theft.

Copperhead Road in Johnson County TN (that Copperhead Road) is now known as Copperhead Hollow Road for that reason.

I'm pretty sure it was stolen, then apparently found in a parking lot in Norway. I don't know if they ever got around to putting the real one back up
> semi-permanent camps

they're just building concentration camps

and they're camps, not even buildings or treatment facilities. that's gonna get ugly in LA in the summer
