    I don’t think this is true when you can get arrested for trying to sleep outside or even just being I’m one place for too long. Vagrancy laws have been around for a very long time and have always been predatory. They used to be able to make someone a slave for not having a home. In the US our 13th amendment says you can legally be made a (prison) slave for committing “a crime”.
