Throwback to the 1890s vagrancy laws used to re-enslave black people I guess

Louisiana is making it illegal to sleep outside on private property. The punishments are jail time or forced treatment, if you choose forced treatment you have to pay for it, if you can’t pay for it you have to do labor to pay off your debt to the state.
