I wonder how many down and out adults who have basically nothing choose prison as a lifestyle, granted your freedoms are a bit limited but on the up side free room and board,free health-care,basically all your needs taken care of..And if there is a growing number of people pursuing this lifestyle what are the lesser crimes being committed to get you on this gravy train.
If i was single and in my senior years of life with no means of support i'd certainly entertain the thought of prison as a lifestyle alternative to being homeless and on the streets,,
Because you hear all the time about ex-cons going back to prison because it's all they know... but I've never heard of anyone deliberately getting themselves sent to prison to avoid homelessness.
I guess it happens though... pretty pathetic if you ask me. That's the country club lifestyle of our prison system today though with the free room and board, cable TV... etc... etc... etc...
It was just a concept that occurred to me,it wont be in my future as i have way too much money and security in my life and as for the sexual aspect i'm sure the guys who are into that would prefer the younger guys rather than the senior citizens.
But if the option were homelessness due to lack of funds or a nice comfy lifestyle in jail with everything taken care of i'd sure be giving the idea some thought...

Homelessness is more a state of mind. If you put some effort (few hundreds bucks) you can buy a van, so you are not on the street anymore.
If you put some more effort, you can buy a small house in the Midwest or "rural Alabama" for few thousands.
About the sexual aspect: If the purpose is to humiliate and to gain control they will go on everything with a pulse...
I am not sure this idea is so far out there. I once knew a guy who lost his job and couldn't find another one. He got tired of the struggle so he started selling drugs to make ends meet. Well, he got caught and is now having his needs met.
Many single adults don't qualify for food stamps, health care, shelter like people with kids so there is no safety net for singles. A lot of charities don't want to help singles because they assume every single person has parents/family in the top 1% who can help them out.

Right. Most idiotic and irresponsible thing I have ever heard.

The option would not be homelessness for anyone with any kind of will and drive at all! Those who give up and choose this are plain lazy and complacent. Among other things such as entitlist, asinine and stubborn beyond their intelligence.
