I know reporters don't have a lot of time, but it'd be great if they actually read the study results. Tldr; $9M spent to save $600k, control group C ($50/mo) saved more than test group B ($6.5k initial payment + $500/mo). Would've been better if they'd built cheap/free public housing instead.

(We should build housing and also we should give people $$)

Hey that’s great do those costs include the indirect costs of the policing? When we lock people up, we pay for: the cops. The courts. The jail. They lose: fees. Fines. Work. Opportunities. Most of those are never counted, because if we did we might be offended by the cost.
