They almost certainly have relatives that they could live with.
There are also places called halfway houses.
I often think about selling everything, cashing out of the system and move to a mountain home in KY or Arkansas. I’m tired of paying for all this crap then being attacked and demonized when pointing out how wrong these things are…
In 6 months they could learn a job skill.
That makes them prime targets for armed robbery. You know they are unarmed when they get sprung from the pen, plus they have a pocket full of cash. Just around the corner and out of sight from the prison guards.

People will commit crimes just to go to prison for six months.

It’s like an out of control contagion.
How long can you stay high on $2,600?
Well, since the state prison recidivism Rate in NY is at 43%, I see this working out wonderfully
They are perfectly willing to take money from honest, law-abiding citizens and give it to criminals, thus rewarding crime and punishing honesty.
Why not pay them minimum wage while in prison?
Actually, I thought certain inmates were already receiving a small sum of ready cash at the time of discharge. Something to help with their immediate, short term need of one way transportation to a safe residence.
Inmates will end owing US!
They might consider using prison labor and PAYING them when they are released. State gets income from products sold; inmate gets skill and $$$ on release. Win - win.

ESPECIALLY in NY where they seem to have a very hard time actually putting troublemakers in to prison .
NYS is insanity run amok. “no bail” allows 4 perps who carved up bodies and distributed parts aropund LI to walk free, 10K credit cards to illegals, throw out students of a HS to allow illegals to reside, unsafe to walk the streets, etc. and the beet goes on.
