Don't worry I'm sure it's done in good spirit, and he's ok with it. RE your post after - well said.
My flatmate works with mild mentally ill criminals. It's a sort of halfway house/open prison style place. Most of the people they deal with are quite old tho, so not as dangerous. They try and work with them to be able to have some sort of vaguely productive life. But it's never really going to happen.
On the point of releasing the mentally ill into the street who go on to commit crimes. A huge proportion of criminals do suffer from some form of mental illness. IMO It would be a lot more useful if proper money was spent on these people, which would also reduce 'real prison' size and allow prisons to focus on doing their supposed job.
