About 25% of Alaskan prisoners are certified to be too mentally ill, with some even being physically unfit, to be able to care for themselves.  Probably 50% in the camps.  As a child, I would go with my mother, to the bean-fields and orchards, to earn enough for school clothing and supplies.  I met a lot of people who were steady and hard workers, except that they could never be able to type up a resume.  And they had no place to keep "records" of their graduation, or anything, except in the glove-box of their beat-up old car.  If their car got towed, they lost everything.  Many of them were Bat-**** crazy, but not in a dangerous way.  They simply could never fit into the neat, orderly, and complex "normal" world.  They are not the thieves, and drunkards that some make them out to be.  The thieves and drunkards are not representative of all the homeless.  Separate the sheep from the goats.
