Also, I’m not suggesting we lock up shoplifters. I’m suggesting we don’t allow them to leave businesses with stolen goods. Then, if they really need something, we can redirect them to services which the city now spends more than a billion dollars a year on.
Think bigger. The choice doesn’t have to be between inhumane incarceration and theft free-for-all.
