He might've had already. Haven't heard much on the subject from him lately.

Perhaps. Though do your equations also account for; break and enter damage caused to citizens, fear damage (people avoiding byward market and other areas), damage to public property, Emergency Services being called out multiple times daily to shelters (I live near a few and hear the sirens day and night). It all adds up.
I don't necessarily agree with the prison or jail aspect, but status quo is not the answer either. Forced mental health institutions where treatment is available to treat both the addicted and mentally ill is hopefully part of the end result.
