SCOTUS v 8th

Core Question: Can the government imprison people for camping on public property? If the person does not have the means to sleep somewhere else, does imprisoning them constitute cruel and unusual punishment?

I was homeless. For a total of 4 months. It's not something you can snap your fingers and fix. And that was back in 1993 when (ballpark) studio rent was $350, minimum wage was $5, and median individual worker income was around $30k.
