University of Alabama Mental Illness Repercussions Discussion

I’m working on a writing question and need support to help me learn.

Consider the notion of whether or not people are born good (and turn bad) or that they are born bad (and with time, this bad behavior emerges).

Should those criminals who have been deemed mentally ill be incarcerated for their offenses or be housed in a mental health facility? Explain. 

Is it appropriate to incarcerate someone with a mental illness? Why or why not?

1. What would your response be to the victim or victim’s families who feel that justice has not been served by having a defendant housed in a mental health facility (instead of prison) with the ability to have privileges not available in prison and the possibility of being released once “cured” of their mental illness? Explain your position.
