They already live in an institution… no sense upgrading to jail.
No judge will convict someone with such sad eyes.
Because there never wanted.
The joke “Why can’t orphans be criminals? Because they’re never wanted” is a play on words using the dual meanings of “wanted.” In one sense, “wanted” refers to the emotional state of being desired or wished for, as in a child being wanted by parents. In the context of orphans, who are children without parents, the joke plays on the sad stereotype that they are not wanted or desired. The other meaning of “wanted” pertains to criminality, where a “wanted” person is someone sought by law enforcement, usually featured on a “wanted” poster.
