Except that isn't really the choice is it? We're just going to pay to feed them and then pay to lock them up afterwards.

Poor people aren't 100% because of bad luck or things of that nature.
Most people who are poor and who end up in prison are there because they're simply trash people.
Being poor is more of a symptom than a cause.

Actually, poverty and criminality are both products of low intelligence, poor impulse control, and lack of comprehension of consequences of one's actions. For instance, set a hyena free in New York City. It would not learn to read or write, would not obey the teacher, would not be able to hold down a job, and would often attack people, and would use its sharp teeth and claws to take whatever it wants. So, the hyena would be both poor, and rely on crime to survive.
