Most criminals aren't mentally ill. They are evil. Satanic. The only answer is to hang them or lock them up indefinitely.You guys are gonna pillory me, but I think she has some reasonable points. First of all, mental health is one of the key reasons people end up in prisons (usually for profit businesses). Secondly, the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world and has had so for a number of years and nothing is changing. As Einstein said, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
So it seems to me that investing in mental health issues instead of paying for more prisons makes sense. After all, we are the people paying the tab for prisons. Wouldn't it be better to invest in something that at least offered a chance of people getting better? Because prisons don't do that - they do the opposite and we pay for it.
I'll now don my armor and put up the invisible fence as you good folks deride me. HA
Liberals will keep digging us deeper.
