You would get the usual responses from the “we care so much” people, about putting them in prison without “due process”.


Except, the West campus was a Hospital, long before it was a prison wing.

SLO County is moving over 50 homeless people from the creeks and Bob Jones trail to Bishop and Johnson Ave where they’ve put up tiny homes for them.
