This reminds me of The Office (US) episode where everyone thinks prison sounds better than working at Dunder Mifflin at which point they’re introduced to “Prison Mike” to be scared straight.

And I'm sure if you had your way the prisons would be empty of anyone convicted of a drug related crime because 'they and their terribly sad addictions/illnesses are the real victims' Theyre in prison as a punishment for crimes
Preston has never asked for anyone's sympathy or understanding about his past crimes. If you read his stuff, he owns it fully, is incredibly sorry. He's the first to admit that what he did had very real consequences.
He's never honestly admitted his crimes in public, on his blog or anywhere. He doesn't own it fully, he tries to absolve himself of ill-intent thoroughly.

I’m just using it to point out the stupidity of your argument. Don’t think too deeply about it, you might hurt yourself.
Shame this account doesn't have the flag button unlocked yet, because you deserve it. Maybe go read the HN guidelines?
Maybe check them yourself? I see nothing but sealioning in your line of questions.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Instead of waving around vague accusations how about you say what you mean?

“Sealioning is a form of online trolling where someone persistently asks insincere questions to provoke frustration, all while pretending to engage in a civil debate.“
That’s about as direct an accusation as it gets.

That cost should be taken by our government and the tax payer, as a disincentive to locking people up. If you can lock someone up and get close to free labor for it, then we're going to start locking a lot of people up. I mean, it's free labor. Which is why we used to give people 20 years for possession of marijuana. What, you think it's just a coincidence we were throwing primarily black Americans away in prison for…
Do you think prisoners are literally picking cotton?
I don’t think, they literally are. Feel free to look it up. Our prison labor systems in the south are direct descendants of Jim Crow era America.

If a prisoner costs $50k a year, and "if" he would work a job where he would make $50k a year and if he didn't receive a dime from it, does it look to you like a free labor? He merely makes up for what he costs the system, not taking into consideration the likely damage that he has done that made him end up in prison in the first place. And I don't expect prisoners to have anywhere close to $50k salary jobs.
The problem here is you’re really asking for abuse with this mentality.
Prisoners should cost money, lots and lots of money. Otherwise we might just decide to imprison you and extract your labor. And that is exactly why we used to see 20 years for possession.
What, did you think we were just burning money for kicks?

The article you linked quotes Mr Clarke's father: The hardest thing in my life was to sign a committal form to send Niall to hospital. And follows with Irish health authorities refused to commit Clarke That sure sounds like Mr Clarke's country refused to treat him. And to your points: > He refused to get treatment and actually fled the country to escape it. What you are saying and what I said about Mr Clarke's countr…
Just because your parent signs a committal form to send Niall to hospital, doesn't mean he is committed. The reason he wasn't committed was because he was not violent. There needs to be evidence of harm by him to himself or others. The country did not refuse to treat him. They followed the law at the time. Your lack of heart and compassion is shocking, tbh.
This just does not sound right to me.
I want mentally ill people committed when signs of potential violence are evident, before they cause harm to themselves or anyone else.
