[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with putting the mentally ill in prison permanently especially if they are violent. [/quote]

Because throwing people away does nothing to solve the underlying issues that lead to crime. You want to decrease crime, you go to the source and deal with it before crime happens. Jail has not actually been shown to be a deterrent, and only comes into play after something bad has already happened. Personally, I'd prefer more resources going towards preventing me from becoming someone's victim than toward punishing them after I do. [/quote]

If there are actually bonafide examples of success that can be replicated, great, let's do that.  But unfortunately there seem to be a lot more of these programs that don't seem to have shown much of anything in terms of results.  DC has thrown tons of money at these kinds of things with "violence interruptors" and others, and it only seems to degenerate into a jobs program that accomplishes nothing at best, or outright grift and corruption at worst.[/quote]

+1 Because that level of mental illness is not curable or fixable. He should have been incarcerated or hospitalized for life. [/quote]
