Not a martyr, an example. A cautionary tale if you will. Tell people, "See? This is what happens when there's bullying and isolation and being kicked around or abused (or whatever the excuse is)!" Allow it to open your eyes and make sure others are spared and any potential problem children are nipped in the bud. But for the person who snapped and killed people, don't make it their bright shining moment. Please. So anyways, to reiterate my point: Use these moments to create awareness. Don't use them to martyr the individual. It's too late for one, but it's not too late for many others. Here’re my thoughts:

If you murder, then you die. If you force rape, then you get castration. Prisons are too full. Let's start killing cons, and getting Americans involved in the DP/torture process.

Part of the problem is that some people felt that we, as a society, should not lock up people that were not criminals, so strike 1 against the state "hospital system". Strike 2 - the states let most of the facilities deteriorate - and set laws in place that made repair and maintanence too costly (like deleading a place). The hospital system could have survived if 1. OK the place is a dump, but many of the patients could have worked to improve the place - OOPS there are unions that do not allow such (I wanted to paint a classroom at my high school and there were issues with the union!) 2. Give some of these people jobs - treat them like "normal" people who just need a little more supervision and assistance than most of us. Kind of like the expensive & invisible "half way" house system that we have. 3. Get used to the fact that some people are beyond reach and give them 3 hots and a cot. These people should cost about the same to house as a criminal, but the difference being that they did not murder, rape anyone. The conditions that you (Admin) speak of is what gave rise to the state hospital system - people in prison that obviously do not belong in such places. Correction, if possible, should be done at a hospital, jails should be reserves for punishment. Admin – I agree with you.

Very, very, very strange way of thinking.

It's a dollars and cents issue. It costs a lot of money for local governments to keep the doors of those buildings open, and they are getting cut out of a lot of budgets, nationwide. Corrections is an industry, don't kid yourself by thinking it isn't. If it wasn't profitable they wouldn't be paying me what they do, and there wouldn't be so many detention facilities. Corrections accounts for around 90% of a lot of county budgets, but if they weren't making revenue to justify that expense, the doors wouldn't stay open. City governments pay the county to house inmates that cops take off the street. The state pays the county to house inmates that are awaiting transport or are back in county jails for hearings. The federal government pays the county a premium to house inmates held on federal charges. They also pay to house immigrations detainees. It's an industry, and a profitable one. I have job security, because in my business we'll never run out of customers, and we aren't affected by seasonal demands. It costs far less for local government to house crazy people in jails than it does to put them in facilities that might actually benefit them, plain and simple. I spend far too much time dealing with people that belong more in a hospital than they do in a jail. It's just an unfortunate truth that people fall between the cracks in our society, and there isn't anyone to care. I don't know what the answer is. Governments can't afford to properly care for their mentally ill so they end up in jails, which doesn't benefit anyone except to keep you safe from them. Anon: Thanks, I like the name too. Melanie:

Your son's name is "Valor"? That's a pretty interesting name... kinda medieval. I like it. Quoted for the truth. On a slightly unrelated note…
