The state wants the victim to self support because it is cheaper for the state. Since you can't tell that class of people to be responsible for themselves, as it is political suicide and they are to be infantilized at every turn, the next best thing is to mass house them as prisoners. I imagine 10 women to a cellblock is cheaper than putting each of them up in a halfway home with a food benefits card.
So the choices are put up with it, or do a murder. Minimizing the sentence for such is how they can make it feasible.
