Did any one see the series Time? The episode where the leccy fiddler was released with a tent as there were zero places to accommodate her.

I am hoping this is for dramatic effect and has never been done. If research has uncovered this has happened even just once, SB needs to rethink her views on tents.

Jodie Whittaker: ‘People are leaving prison and they’re being given a tent’

The actress was interviewed for the website of the Big Issue. She played the prisoner (season 2 of Time) being released with a tent as all the hostels were full.

Again, I have to state, if this has happened even once, it's once too much.

I’m reading someone has broken the law to a severity serious enough to have their freedom taken away.

They leave the prison and have nowhere to live.

Could they move to another town that has got spare capacity for homeless shelter, ask relatives or friends?

What do you think should be a solution?

Yeah a fictional character needs to be imprisoned and her kids taken into care cos she fiddled her electricity in the cost of living crisis . I would hope in the real world she'd get community service because imprisonment and kids in care is more costly to the taxpayer

Also in the real world, do ALL homeless people get beds for the night in night shelters? Since many only open in the winter, I'd guess no. I only know about these night shelters due to the shelter organisation website.

I know nothing of the fictional character, and comparing fiction to fact on recent comments from the Home Secretary is strange.

I’m pretty sure nobody is campaigning for more homeless people, and seeing as shelters are full as you say what is the silver bullet?

Do we stop any further boat crossings, to free up hotels, in the short term? Do we increase taxes until everyone has their own place to live, do we better educate?

It is so easy to be a critic, the hard work is in the solution.

What is your suggestion for a solution that provides beds for all homeless people, don’t forget, some don’t want them and that should make it easier ….

The thread is about whether this part of the drama has ever occurred in reality.

Your question is the problem (not you personally!). It should read "what can I/we do", because the vast majority of people can do something.

Communities could take care of people in those communities. If people care about an issue, they should stop waiting for the government to do something and just band together (where this makes sense).

It works in communities that actually care about each other.

Like that Insulate Britain idiot who protested but wouldn't insulate his own properties because "it's up to the government". Madness.

It is indeed up to the government, and they are failing. But waiting for them to get their act together would take decades. There are plenty of organisations ready to accept financial or organisational help, in local, church and ethnic communities.

What would I do if I was sleeping in a shop doorway. With no income/benefits, no medical treatment or dental care. No regular food. My only possessions were the cloths on my back. And a sleeping bag that smelt of piss. Now how could I improve my quality of life !!!!

I would make my way to a beach in France. Climb about a dinghy. Get picked up by the RLNI or Cerco.

I would get a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in. 3 meals a day. Money to spend, Be kitted out with Designer cloths. A mobile phone. And if I am lucky ! A e-bike provided by the local Christian church.

Obviously I would have pretend that I am not English.

I can imagine only speak for the situation in Scotland. The local authority has a duty to provide accommodation for prisoners upon release. Usually some arrangement is made prior to release where possible. Of course not everyone released from prison is homeless

Housing legislation is different in Scotland so this may not be the case elsewhere

The local authorities in England have duty to provide accommodation if one meets the requirements.

Prisoners have been released with just a tent and a weeks benefit money for as long as I remember so this happens in real life.
