I think anyone who commits any terrible crime must
be mentally ill. So do we let them all go? I
don't think so. I believe there should be
counseling in prison to help these people deal
with their "demons" so that they may have a
chance at a normal if and when they return to
society. I also believe everyone should receive
some punishment for their crimes whether or not
they are considered mentally ill.
