Even McDonalds in California was forced to use people on parole or probation for community service programs - this was all mandated when after the recession, no one had money at all to eat out and some franchises signed up to be paid through the SNAP hot meal program, so people lacking a kitchen or the homeless on SNAP could eat at McDonalds. Because it was community service, they didn't get paid a penny - I know this because one of my roomies in LBC was a manager there and they did it all the time.
All the nonprofit halfway houses and residential missions through section 8 absolutely loved it - the 'charity' owners were rolling up in a brand new Lexus or Mercedes, and investing their profits in non profit music labels and crap for the homeless to achieve their 'dreams and goals'. Such a scam.
Yet the residential centers had waiting lists 8 years long and only took a certain number of people, all of whom had been between there to jail and back for decades in some cases.. Revolving door.
Then a couple of the men who owned these shelters were found out to be operating a strip club on the side and guess who they found working there and living in squalor? They got shut down and people were angry because they were such philanthropists. All of this was endorsed by scum like OC Weekly and liar Ginsburg, who makes 100k a year.
Some of the 'residents' would try to get jobs, but the owners would never shut up about how mentally ill and unemployable they were so they weren't hired until the dudes got locked up - miraculously some got jobs after their haters and exploiting parties were out of the way.
