Motor City's woest extend beyond its auto industry ( What's your take here Dave? Should Detroit just stop enforcement to get rid of these freeloaders? ) One measure of how tough times are in the Motor City: Some of the offenders in jail don't want to be released; some who do get out promptly re-offend to head back where there's heat, health care and three meals a day. "For the first time, I'm seeing guys make a conscious decision they'll be better off in prison than in the community, homeless and hungry," said Joseph Williams of New Creations Community Outreach, which assists ex-offenders.
