I find it difficult to rationalise giving a free house to a rioter/bigot/thief/insert crime of choice. Especially those with multiple previous convictions.
I’m paying a mortgage but if I got banged up for 2yrs I’d definitely be on the streets after release.

A safe place to sleep should absolutely be a human right, your own private home for nowt? Not sure.

The men being given prison sentences for rioting that were living in council houses are very likely to be living with their family, since single men are way down a very long list, so if you kick them out you also make a family homeless. The punishment is the prison sentence.

And if a mortgage person's family can't afford to pay the mortgage and become homeless, is that fair?

What if they are renting on the open market..housing benefit won't pay nor universal credit.

So if I got jailed for rioting the government should pay my mortgage so my family don’t go without?
