Yes I committed a crime due to mania and no it wasn't a mental prison hospital. Prison is full of people with mental illness. To get insanity which is the only way where you go to a metal institute to actually get the help to be part of society you have to be to the point you can't take care of yourself. The term rehabilitation is a joke, I didn't learn anything but to be even more dangerous. It's a a sad system where everyone judges you as a forever bad apple. California passed a law where background checks goes back only 7 years. So if you've been a law abiding citizen you can do anything that doesn't require fingerprinting or state/federal licensing. I have a great career now but for several years i had to work at jobs that wasn't near my intelligence level. If it wasn't for the 7 year law I'd still be working jobs that isn't anything near what I can do. Many go into construction trades as that's deemed what's best for ex-cons.

Now when I first went to prison I was evaluated and was sent to the mental illness ward but it was still general population. Their way they did treatment was giving you so many meds all you wanted to do was sleep and literally in zombie mode like walking dead zombies and not 28 days later zombies. I don't think many people understand what it's like for a bipolar 1 person to be in a full blown manic episode. Depending on the situation and manic intensity it's easy to completly lose control and society rules is pretty much ignored.
