Do the mentally ill belong in prison?


Mental illness isn't a valid excuse for antisocial behavior. Free treatment should be made available, and if it isn't used or not enough on its own, they should be put in "inpatient mental healthcare"


Dangerous mentally ill people belong somewhere that isn’t on the streets. Bring back flop/workhouses and sanitariums.
