Just as we as a society NEED to have prisons for those who commit serious crimes and have no will to change their views we also desperately need insane asylums to proliferate to an extent . 100’s of thousands experience temporary mental breakdowns when due to certain circumstances they simply break and perform acts entirely out of their normal range of emotions . The cost to our society and jails/prisons housing the chronically mentally ill is colossal in terms of monetary and damage to the individual . I see first hand those within our society who should be institutionalized and yet they get cut a disability check are prescribed serious drugs and are then prey to the “therapy” industry and other public programs which are FOR PROFIT and these individuals are nothing but publicly funded cash cows who revolve form jails to treatment centers and it is a costly circle jerk . Families get fatigued along with Police, medical and every other agency that has to deal with these poor souls . One thing that is perverse is that these persons who just flounder along until they either O.D. or get incarcerated for a long stretch have better insurance and Guaranteed money every month no matter what they do.....who pays this ? You and me . This is why I am FOR mental institutions to PLEASE make a comeback . It is a fact of humanity that some persons for whatever reason are just not right in the mind and an asylum is the best way overall to try and deal with a facet of being human .
agree 100%.
