This kid should have been locked away in an asylum

[Michigan Alum]

13. There is very little locking people up anymore unless it's in prison or jail. There are a few state

Hospitals but there is a long waiting list and it is only reserved for people who are in very, very, very bad shape who are either not helped by medication or refuse to take it. What most likely would happen is that anyone suicidal or homicidal is pumped full of meds then pushed out the door after at most 72 hours. I also agree with the person above who says that most people with a mental illness are NOT dangerous. I worked with the population for over 7 years and I have found that 99.9 % are more likely to become victims of crime rather than the other way around.
