Wolf, I swear this is the truth: In the early 90's when I was living in Phoenix, the Sheriff's Department used to take the people who they did not know what to do with after they were released from jail and buy them a bus ticket to Los Angeles, give them $100, and tell them not to come back. This included a predominence of alcoholics and mental cases I guess, who had no place to go except hang around Phoenix and get arrested again. Los Angeles found out what they were doing and threw a major fit. You would have thought they intended to track down every one of that flotsam and ship it right back to Phoenix, but I doubt they could have caught them all. However, the tremendous heat and bad publicity that got dumped on law inforcement in Phoenix put an abrupt end to this "final solution" of theirs
