Criminalizing Homelessness: State Laws in America
A 49-year-old unhoused Black man living in a Nashville park was arrested, tased, and charged with felony camping on public property. Following a Supreme Court ruling, at least 14 states including Tennessee now classify sleeping on public land as a felony punishable by up to six years in prison. Joseph Lamont Williams faced two felony counts and a misdemeanor charge under Tennessee's 2022 anti-camping statute criminalizing survival activities between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. East Nashville, a historically Black community, has experienced rapid gentrification with rent tripling over five years, displacing longtime residents like Williams who refuses shelter beds.
