Question:
If somebody with a mental health problem breaks the law do they go to prison or hospital?
Answers:
It has to be proven that they truly have a mental problem, and if so, they go to a prison hospital, which is actually a bit worse than going to a regular hospital. They don't get the real help that they need, it's very sad. The only thing is that they do get out, and they are not cured and they can do whatever it is that they did in the first place and end up back in the hospital. It's sort of a revolving door process. We don't have a very good system.
