1K a month is pretty trivial compared to the cost of all the public money used to punish them (e.g cops). Even if you don't care about the humanity aspect at all UBI makes sense just from a pure numbers perspective.
Don't forget healthcare and existing social security!
$1,000/mo. is not UBI, not like it's usually discussed. I'd go for widening this program, let's keep the experiment rolling until it pans out or collapses.
