When first published in 1970, Stations of the Lost won the C. Wright Mills Award for Best Book in the Area of Social Problems. The study considers the Skid Row alcoholic from two points of view, that of the alcoholic himself and that of the agents of social control who treat him. A major discovery of Wiseman's research was that Skid Row men spend only about one third of the year on Skid Row. The rest of the time is spent "making the loop"—going from Skid Row to city jail, to county jail, to the state mental hospital, to the missions, and back to Skid Row. While these facilities are designed to handle or rehabilitate Skid Row men, they are actually used by these men as a means of survival.
That made me spit my water out at my computer!

Heh. I’m on the wrong thread. Bummer. Oopsie.
If this hungry transient had been caught in Malibu choking his chicken instead, the liberal locals would have left him alone ...
If this hungry transient had been caught in San Francisco choking his chicken, a parade would have formed behind him.
I hate the homeless here in L.A., absolutely hate them.
Obviously, you suffer from “Hobophobia.”
I do indeed. I used to feel some sympathy, till I got to see them up close. I ride the bus, so I get a good long look at their behavior. Most of them have exactly the life they deserve.
