I do feel bad for the ones in there that really do have a disorder and who need help. I think that we should do everything in our power to help them. That way when they get out they are less likely to re-offend. If we just warehouse them then release them they will still have their problems and not know how to deal with them and keep going down their distructive path. I think it's criminal not to help anyone in our society with a mental disorder who want's or need help.
