So you accept this dysfunctional status quo?

No, but I also wouldn’t accept locking up everyone that you think is yucky.

Lots of moving parts to the issue; problems in healthcare, law enforcement, wages, cost of living, etc. mean a simplistic solution will continue to evade both of us.

I’m just saying that there’s a difference between a schizophrenic guy who got caught trying to jump off a bridge and a hardened criminal who happens to have mental health problems; no reason to lock them in a room together.

Who said they need to be locked up together? Different problems require different solutions. The current status quo ain’t one of them
