The Origins of Our War on Vagrants

This is a story kind of about our Western Civilizations war on people who, yeah, don't fall through the cracks. This episode started because there's a band that I listened to a lot when I was younger called State Radio. And they've got a song called the story of Benjamin Darling, part one. He's a freed slave who established an island community from mixed race people off the coast of Maine. The more I dug into the story, the more I found out that what happened to him and other like vagrancy sufferers is a story about how we prosecutes these people.
