Insurance companies don’t make enough and pay out for a psych bed as they do with the state private owned prisons. Simple math for a crazy world
My cousin has been in and out of jail and prison at least 6 times since we were kids , he is 3 years older than me and is currently serving 15 years. Is he mentally ill ? Yes years or self medicating ( alcohol and every drug under the sun. ) hasn’t helped , he’s a very violent dangerous man. He tried to rape his mother numerous times. He is that evil not just mentally ill just evil , he deserves prison there is no rehabilitation for him at this point. Maybe 25 years ago but no longer at this point , it’s a shame he had a bright future at one point , his sister is the same way , I feel bad for them but they started drugs and alcohol by age 12 , hardstuff
Some people you simply can’t help.
