[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think PP who posted about fentanyl psychosis was probably right.  This doesn’t seem like a “crime” in the traditional sense in that the criminal had nothing to gain—it wasn’t a mugging or drug hit or anything, just random illogical violence by someone who probably has scrambled eggs for brains.  Like the guy who stabbed that woman in Logan circle.  Or the guy who poured a gallon of his own urine over a woman in McPherson square.  I don’t even know if it’s right to call these people mentally ill—I think they have significant brain damage that is probably not amenable to treatment.  Maybe there’s a way to reverse the damage but I doubt that traditional therapies for the mental I’ll are the answer, even if they were available.[/quote]

Perhaps. But he managed to get released from prison ok. [/quote]

He served his sentence. [/quote]

Turns out he didn’t serve his sentence. Early release and violated his DC parole.

Arrested in Chicago in 2022 and parole violation charges dismissed.

Criminal justice reform in action. Be careful out there. [/quote]

Sending these mental health consumers to prison is not good for society. They don’t get the treatment and health they need in prison, the inmate do their time and then released back into society.  They need to me in psych wards and receive diagnosis and treatment not prisons. So now this guy will go back to prison, do his time, released, rinse and repeat. We need to reopen the mental institutions. They need not be like they were of old, but they need to open up and start treating these people. Get them off the streets. [/quote]

There is a shortage of mental health professionals so before anyone can open large mental health facilities we need more trained specialists for them.  There aren’t even enough social workers in most places.[/quote]

This!

I work in a mental health facility. We are overflowing with patients and inadequate staffing. And guess what?  We also have a revolving door - patients are treated, stabilize, get released, go off their meds, and come right back. Mental health treatment isn’t the solution you think it is. [/quote]

100% time and again they've shown patients don't want to be medicated, they don't want to be well. Under those circumstances, that person isn't going to be rehabilitated.[/quote]
