Bullshit. Conservatives don't want people living in tents. I'm tired of all this propaganda. They clearly want anyone who can't afford a house in a prison, not a tent.

Which is more expensive for the state, i.e., even from a pure capitalist point of view the least favorable option.

From a Pure capitalist POV, the only thing wrong with that scenario is that the prisoners probably won't be working. Or won't be working enough. Capitalism isn't concerned with a balanced state budget
