I talked to a to a homeless man this morning and asked him how he ended up this way.



He said, "Up until last week, I still had it all. I had plenty to eat, my clothes were washed and pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had HDTV and Internet, and I went to the gym, the pool, and the library.



"I was working on my MBA on-line. I had no bills and no debt. I even had full medical coverage."



I felt sorry for him, so I asked, "What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce?"



"Oh no, nothing like that," he said. "No, no.... I was paroled."

It's sad, but the truth is that often someone facing being homeless will consider, if not actually carry out, a crime just to stay warm and fed in prison.
