So I fill up a grocery cart full of food and run out and get caught I get to take an Art class? Something like that?
We need to pursue more creative approaches like this that treats human beings with dignity. The result? Less crime.

The amount of mental gymnastics people will do to not address obvious things is crazy. I'm sure there's a section of criminals who benefit from reform but I don't think that's the case here. We have the best job growth in the whole country. We need housing and safe communities

It's cool, but people shouldn't be arrested for most of these offenses in the first place (farebeating). Warrants are presumably still issued in these cases. Judges set bail on warrants. This is how Layleen Polanco ended up on Rikers Island for a diversion program.

There is data to support this program. Incarceration for low level crimes is not only infective; it's harmful. https://eji.org/news/study-finds-increased-incarceration-does-not-reduce-crime … "US spent roughly $33 billion on incarceration in 2000 for roughly the same level of public safety it achieved in 1975 for $7.4 billion."
