Blame Ken Kesey (One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest) and others for this by demonizing institutionalization.
Not everyone should be in there but there are a LOT of people completely incapable of managing their own lives who would be better off there than living on the streets giving hang jobs for cash.

Psych patients cause a big drain on ER resources as well.

Dixon Correctional in Jackson use to be colonies of East La State Hospital. The buildings were empty and the state needed a prison. A fence and some upgrades and there you go.

We could fund this easily
Cut those tens of billions to Ukraine and tone down some defense spending and it’s all there

vast majority of the wackos we see don't need to see a resumption of asylums, they need to see a resumption of public guillotines

Probably a few million need to be in a mental health in patient setting.. we’d probably see a dramatic crime (mostly small) decrease and definitely a increase in quality of life especially in urban areas

A portion of those people are in nursing homes along side maw maw and paw paw.
Staffing crisis in nursing homes? Well of course. A CNA is not going to get paid 12 dollars an hour to take care of a half dozen able bodied substance abuse schizophrenics one room over from paw paw just trying to recover from a hip surgery.

So how easy do you want to make it to send YOU to a padded cell?

Been saying this for years.
About every county had an insane asylum back in the day.

Yep. Massive issue.

I believe we have less than 200k psych beds in the US, down from around 600k in the 1950s.
There's a long tale about why this occurred, but I don't think this board will like it lol.

Natural mental illness or drugged out mental illness? There’s a big difference in the patient.

To be fair they use to put the mentally handicap in the asylums back then.

Mental Health Problems? I prefer to call it demonic possession coupled with unrealized expectations. When you strip the culture of moral absolutes, even going so far as to slaughter babies seconds from being born expect mayhem, widespread lawlessness, and a whole bunch of confused, angry people.
It's that simple.
