8. Would it save the government money...

Or would it fuck up the job market any worse if they let them go? Probably both I'm guessing.

I should mention that a lot of people with mental illness self-medicates, as the hospital calls it. (I'm not so sure I've met anyone that wasn't.) If you're arrested, they don't necessarily give you your pills on time. Or maybe not even at all. Very dangerous to skip pills... Or drink it down with alcohol, which is usually peoples weak spot.

In other words, there's a lot of people who need treatment on more than one level. But they're in jail.
