[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 740754, member: 1550"] Most people in prison are in some way mentally ill. In no way are people who keep breaking the law of the norm. That includes the very worst such as Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer. They were certsinly mentally ill. But they needed to be locked away. Many people who are mentally ill dont break the law, do t go to prison. Ever. Many never tke drugs too. If you are a danger to society in my opinion you belong away from others. Now I feel differently about non violent crimes that impacts nobody else. Through my decades here on this forum, there are people whose kids who were in jail that I felt belonged there, and others whose kids were only a threat to themselves snd needed help. And I read a story of a poor mom whose daughter killed somebody (she only posted once and got no responses) and one whose minor son was shot and killed by a cop. I forgot the details but the poor mother eventually couldnt live with this and killed herself. I dont know what I would do if any of my kids had faced jail or prison or were so far off the rails that the law was unvolved. I judge no ody for their choices regarding their beloved children. I just wish the mental health system was not such a mess. And I dont think any non violent drug offender should ever go to jail [/QUOTE]
