This is a problem in a lot of countries where the process of deinstitutionalization happened for the mental health system. Some people with mental illness cannot survive in the community, and often end up as homeless (where some figures put 70-80% of the population having serious mental illness).
Deinstitutionalization isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you do still need some mental care facilities for those that cannot function outside. Problem is the slack in the system is being taken up by both regular hospitals and prisons. |

We could do more for the mentally ill in this country. But it always seems to be on the bottom of the list.

One would think they would want to take care of their own.

Same story here in Australia. I get to see plenty of nut cases as a train driver and also see the mayhem they cause. Another reason why I never want to be a police officer!
