Comments
Yes, they emptied state hospitals. Within a short time, those who did not kill others or themselves ended up in prison. About a third of all prison beds are filled with straight state hospital patients. The rest are on the street, screaming and attacking random passers by. Hell for the patients, hell for the public that runs a gauntlet of untreated mental patients if they want to go anywhere in town.
Under 123D, the prisons would be empty, and so would the streets of ultra-violent, insane criminals. Mental illness should become an aggravating factor, not an excuse, as it is today, in the upside down Twilight Zone world of the lawyer.
