Edited sentence: Campaigners, charities and lawyers call this, "grotesque inhumanity"  Rosie Brighthouse of Liberty said, “We warned from the start that PSPOs were far too broad and ripe for misuse by over-zealous councils wanting to sweep inconveniences off their streets.For example a man was jailed for four months because he breached a criminal behaviour order (CBO) in Gloucester for begging, the judge stated, “I will be sending a man to prison for asking for food when he was hungry” another man was fined £105 when a child had put £2 into his sleeping bag.Homeless people are banned from town centres, some are routinely fined hundreds of pounds or sent to prison for repeatedly begging.Homeless people are sometimes fined or sent to prison for begging or rough sleeping.Large numbers of homeless people die and when this happens authorities do little to find out the cause of death or to prevent future similar deaths.More than 50 Local Authorities have Public Space Protection Orders.Now we see dozens of local authorities using them to target marginalised groups and fine people for being poor.”  The above treatment can make it harder for homeless people to sort their lives out and find work
