I agree with you yet in keeping a person who is mentally ill in prison for life versus the death penalty seems like a conundrum because either way tax payers will pay the price for either outcome. It makes me wonder, despite the crime committed that sentenced that person to the death penalty, does their execution cost less than housing them in prison for life? Others could question and wonder - what do tax payers get out of spending money on a person who should never be free?

I'm constantly in Prisons. It depends on the prison. My grandmother's older brother was in prison for life for a double murder. A crime of passion. The only reason they didn't fry him was cause he took out two other blacks, so being in the south, they didn't see it as such a bad thing. He did them a favor. He definitely deserved to be in prison, but there are people there that are falsely accused and then there are some that are there for smaller nonviolent things. I have clients that were in for attempted murder or manslaughter that now that they are out are better behaved then people who have never been in at all. I would say that for me, I need an already documented history of mental illness. Just saying it because they are no realizing the gravity of what they have done isn't quite enough for me.

You need to wake up.. that something wrong deep down is called sin and every human being is a sinner going all the way back to Adam and Eve..

When they say they can treat mental illness, all they're doing is slapping a Band-Aid on something instead of getting at the root of the issue

My 4 1/2 yr old grandson was murdered by Darriynn Brown who sits in a Texas psychiatric hospital right now as I’m typing this. He apparently has schizophrenia but, being the victim’s family member, we haven’t seen the proof. I would like to see the proof. How many times had he been hospitalized? What treatment was he receiving? Why are we kept in the dark about it? He stabbed Cash to death and left him lying in the streets of Dallas on May 15, 2021. The nanny cam video of the initial kidnapping is all over the internet. We want answers. This guy tried to kidnap a girl just a few months prior. Why was he not in a mental institution? We need long term care facilities for the mentally ill so that some of these tragedies can be avoided. The families of the severely mentally ill need help. I have an adult son with schizo-affective disorder and it is horrible. I’ve tried everything to get him help or to have him committed to a facility but it is impossible. It can’t legally be done for longer than 72 hrs. They just give him boat loads of medication and then leave me to care for him 24/7 with no help. I can see these tragedies from both sides. The break in the system is there is no access to adequate care for the mentally ill (no legal way to have them committed long term) nor is there help for the families who are doing everything they can to care for them.

It's also happened to a life long friend with her adult child as well, who ended up serving time. While serving time her daughter was denied medication and my friend had to fight for months to have her placed in a facility that would allow her medication. The reason the crime was committed in the first place is because she wasn't taking her meds. Which is quite common. Can you afford a private investigator, or have access to law libraries?

First of all, death penalty is not an option - because the system would be considered no better than the criminal. Death penalty doesn't belong in a modern society. Next, people with severe mental illness who are psychotic in the moment of their crimes, should be treated for their mental illness and sentenced to lifelong treatment if serious crimes. It is possible to distinct between psychosis and manipulative behavior. Actually we are quite good at that, the US too, among other things using malingering tests. I think the worst thing in the US system is the failure not to give people proper treatment - it's a huge failure. Way too primitive for a western country.

Most times, if they do end up being released, they are on “conditional release status” which can last the entirety of the rest of their lives, meaning that at anytime they can be readmitted to a state hospital for as ever long as the court seems fit.

I also doubt I could ever get off medication without things becoming much worse for me so I have to deal with the many side effects caused by the medication while at the same time I have developed a high tolerance to the therapeutic, mentally stimulating, qualities of the medication. Also about 95 percent of schizophrenics smoke cigarettes and I doubt I could ever quit them. And just the people that I met in the mental health system all turned out to be toxic after they had already worked themselves into a entanglement with my life. Dead end friends. Some sane, normal, productive in society type people seem to understand me and that helps me but others will have nothing to do with me because of the stigma. And did I mention that my entire adult life has turned out nothing like I would've ever imagined after going through mental health but it is what it is so I gotta make the best of it. The disability checks aren't much and are a fixed income. Having a mental illness has its struggles in a variety of ways whether it leads a person to engage in inappropriate behavior or not. We used to just lock everyone up who had mental problems until we realized that doesn't work. And it's not like anyone ever did a scan of my brain, I am schizophrenic because of exhibiting bizarre behavior and from how I told my doctor I felt.

I have schizophrenia took meds for two weeks, it helped me drastically but the meds had severe side effects, made me gain so much weight, made my eyes look drugged up, my mind was processing things slower, and my driving skills were slower too. I then tapered down the amount of pills I had to take. After getting off of it, the voices slowly came back. But it’s a lot quieter. Before taking meds, the voices would wake me up in the middle of the night and early morning. I never got normal hours of sleep. I even heard my door getting knocked 3 times. I heard things and it made me so paranoid. But schizophrenia, some people hear us say and talk about this stuff, and no one believes us. If we were to do a CT scan of our brains, there’ll be clear evidence that we have schizophrenia.

@@MarjyGTV They sound like normal people. They sounded like strangers to me, and then there are other voices that sound like my family members/friends. The strangers’ voices would come and go. For me, there was around a total of 15+ people. And on random days, there would be an extra new voice that came in, and one voice in particular, sounded so demonic and deep. It scared the hell out of me. They would all speak in third person, saying stuff in regards about me “She thinks she can draw” “She’s 21 but doesn’t know how to play COD” “She’s getting mad at her mom” and “I feel bad for her mom” and “She listens to us but doesn’t listen to her mom” - The upsides of schizophrenia for me was that, I began sleeping early, started cooking more, and started drawing more. And tried using less water. I’ve started to change these habits, also I rarely sleep early, and I only draw when bored. I started listening to these voices, and some of them gave me some real good advice or suggestions. Like when I was at work, a lot of coworkers were harassing me saying I look mean and that my eyes look terrifying. When I went home, I heard these women outside (schizophrenia voices) saying that “They’re jealous of her because she looks pretty” so on the upside I felt like I had supporters on my side. But on the negative side, I was getting sexually harassed by some of the voices. I used to believe someone stuck a hidden camera in my private bathroom watching me shower. Previously, with my schizo, when I was about to go sleep, I heard like 3-4 different voices at night, of people having a loud conversation about me and watching me shower and changing my clothes and they’d compliment my ass etc. I was horrified and the thing is, whenever I felt scared etc, these people KNOW what I’m feeling. I also had these voices threatening to put my bathroom video online to expose me. Then one old lady outside I heard, “She looks petrified” Then I also hear on some days, these voices would tell me to go kill myself or drink poison because I’m useless to society. I mainly hear them say that on days when I’m fed up at work. I would get home all stressed and fed up, drinking alcohol. .. I could go on and on about this. There’s a million more. Sorry this comment is getting out of order. If you want I can explain more. But everyone’s schizophrenia is different. But the thing is schizophrenia has its ups and down sides. It’s not always negative. But the trigger to my schizophrenia was due to me getting mobbed (basically a term for getting bullied by an entire group, in my scenarios, the entire workplace including all of the HR , admin, managers, supervisors, coworkers, they ganged up on me for quite some months.) so then after 2-3 months in working there, I started experiencing schizophrenic auditory hallucinations. So the mobbing was getting worse ALONG with even triple the voices at work. So it felt like it was the end of the world for me. I was both getting mobbed and hearing hallucinations. Then I went to a psychiatric hospital basically, a mental asylum- and then my schizophrenia was HORRIBLE there as well. And I got mobbed there too, along with hearing more voices. Idk. Anyways. That’s my story. I think after this whole experience, I just know that bullying someone again and again- will eventually give the victim PTSD first.. and if it persists longer, schizophrenia will begin as well. It’s what happens when someone has experienced too much harassment and trauma. Bullies don’t know this and they don’t know how their words can affect someone’s mind. The mind works well but it’s so complicated at the same time.

My schizophrenia still exists, but it’s subtle. The symptoms appear whenever people have loud convos around me, or when I’m working around loud machinery, loud dishwasher machines, etc. That’s why I can’t stand crowds anymore like I used to. The mumbling on TV, from far away, sounds like the TV was badmouthing me. But as I got closer to the TV-- it was a guy just narrating a commercial. But, ever since I’ve been mobbed at one workplace, it has never been the same in my mind. My mind, with schizophrenia, has changed my personality entirely. My mom evens thinks I get possessed or something because I look scared of everyone when I enter a store or public area with her.

Prison should be for rehabilitation. It should focus on mental health, trauma, and PTSD. I understand most should not be allowed back into society, but the ones who do get back out leave worse than coming in. We have all the resources to put into making sure people who go to prison expected to be released have been mentally evaluated and treated. Seeing a psychiatrist should be part of all paroles and people who committed crimes. Many countries have put in the proper resources for their inmates and have had amazing results due to that. And one of them was not seeing repeat offenders, bc they made mental healthy treatment a number one priority. But for America it’s more than making mental health treatment available for inmates to make sure they leave in good health before being released into society. Our prisons are for profit. Major corporations use inmates to make their products Paying them basically in Pennies. Our prisons are modern day slavery. You can’t have any of that if you are making sure inmates are getting proper healthcare and mental healthcare. I’m sorry for every victim of a criminal. I’m so sorry But if we want a peaceful society we have to have empathy even for those who suffer and make bad decisions. We have to push for our prisons to make mental healthcare accessible for inmates. Not just for inmates, but everyone.

Yes but it is very difficult for someone to be found “not guilty by reason of mental insanity” you can be found to be not competent to stand trial which means you don’t understand the trial process so you can’t assist in your own defense. An example of this was Lori Vallow who was recently found guilty of killing her two children with her brother and her husband who she married after he also killed his wife and 2 weeks after both her kids were killed. She was first found not competent to stand trial. Once she was determined to be found competent, she was put on trial and she will be standing trial for other crimes in another state later on. Being found not guilty by reason of mental insanity means you could not determine right from wrong at the time of the crime. An example of this is, Andrea Yates who was found NG but mental inanity after drowning her 5 children in an episode of post-partum psychosis. If she is found to mentally well she can be released under supervision but from my understanding she has stated she doesn’t want to be let out, she feels she should remain hospitalized. That’s the last I heard. In 50s and 60s we had a lot more hospitals for the criminally insane but, laws that were passed basically closed these facilities down (which were not run very well at all. They had a lot of abuse and neglect which is why so many people wanted them to be shut down). The system is broken, our prison system is the new mental health facilities because we don’t have the funding to properly care for our mentally ill. I pray one day we focus on mental health services and preventing these crimes from happening in the first place. Maybe we could prevent the Gary Greens and Andre Thomas’ of the world which would mean those poor people who were the victims of these men wouldn’t be dead and the lives of their family and friends wouldn’t have been completely obliterated.

My mom took a cab to get me from school, and the driver graciously drove us to another town because he said that my dad would go looking at the bus station for us. When he was off his meds, his conversations didn't make sense. He saw spiders, and I've heard several conversations between him and someone I couldn't see. He would just take off walking/hitchhiking .He died in 2018 as he was walking through a construction site and was hit by a car. This illness needs more awareness.

Awwww the poor DEATH ROW PRISONERS are "suffering"

"I think Christians typically support the death penalty" This has absolutely blown my European mind.

Am I supposed to feel bad for these people? I struggle with depression and anxiety too, but that’s no excuse to go around killing people. If you take an innocent person’s life, you have forfeited your right to live.

Those rallying against the death penalty don't seem to show any empathy for the families of the victims. Like every heated social issue, with no middle ground, there's no place to make peace.

I'm the daughter of a murder victim. My brother and mom have also died. I'm against the death penalty. For one, the justice system has gotten it wrong time and time again. Innocent people have been executed and sit on death row or in prison as we speak. Until it's a perfect system 100% of the time, the death penalty shouldn't even be a discussion. It needs to be perfect, they need to never get it wrong. Even then, I don't really care for it. An eye for an eye leaves the world blind. We're telling them "You're worse than us, you murder people." And then "teaching them a lesson" by doing the same thing. Many killers look forward to the death penalty because death row inmates often get their own cells, TVs, privileges, etc. and they stay for decades. I don't want my dad's killers to die, I'd never wish their family to go through what they put me through. It's a waste.

How does being anti death penalty = no empathy for the victims? This is just my opinion, but I think they're the most empathetic people around.

Sometimes there IS no excuse. When you are evil, you are evil. Call it anything you want. Facing the death penalty would cause anyone mental illness.

I don't think this is a decision that should be made by jurors. Not only is it so subjective but people are so judgemental, people are so ignorant to the effects of mental illness, as people stated they didn't even care that he was mentally ill after they saw the victim pictures, etc. Even the mentally ill people didn't have any knowledge of how their mental illness would affect them differently than psychosis . The poor traumatized girl understands that she has no control over cutting herself but she can't understand that people lose different levels of control with different types of mental illness. people are so underdiagnosed and under treated. my son went in the mental hospital once. He was 18 so I didn't have any control over his stay but when I dropped him off i explained that it was more than depression and gave examples and why I thought it was borderline personality disorder or something similar. He was not violent but when he would lose his temper he would Punch walls Etc he would become a 100% different person he would have no idea what he was doing and no control over it and very little memory of how bad he got but they still only diagnosed him with depression and most people with these types of illnesses as a part of the illness never seek help because they don't see anything wrong with themselves. There are countless people that just flat out "don't believe" in mental illness. Etc

Regardless of his diagnosis he should be locked somewhere forever, his actions shows he's a clear danger to society because the vast majority of people with these diagnosis aren't out here killing people.

I think this is why this argument is so misunderstood; so many of you people think that it literally means the person is found innocent and then released. Extremely mentally ill people who are not found culpable of a crime do not walk free, they’re put in custody of the state. They often times spend the remainder of their life in a high security mental hospital. And the state has more control over you than a prison would because you’re subject to a doctors opinion, not a release date.
