When they get into the system and get moved to group homes they are taught that violence fixes everything by the state and their placement agencies.
In group homes one has to work together on menus and compromise with others or have seating arrangements or personal property like personal chairs. Provided that these people do not have issues that would actually inhibit them from learning then they quickly learn from environment, experience, or peers, that certain things like being unusually antisocial and violent will eventually get them what they want by moving them to accommodations, at that placement agency or one that specializes in “extreme behaviorals”, that are private and allows them to never have to share/compromise and allows for personal staff.
I believe you. I don’t doubt what you described is true in many cases. Maybe even most cases. In other cases, though, for some people with this diagnosis, sometimes something just sets them off.
What is to be done? We all were told that institutions were terrible places. Maybe, instead of being shut down, the institutions should’ve been changed to make them nice places.
