In so not to edit posts and context, our talks were about the current shoveling of the mentally ill in the prison system instead of treatment.

There was a recent reddit article in /r/news that talked about a Hawaiian prison that screaming, throwing feces, and other illness had taken over as the makeup of the prison. In general, we have collectively decided that there will be no/little support for the mentally ill, and that the jails and prisons will be the tool to stop them.

With the side effects as they are, how ethical is it to imprison them? They are ill, and we do not generally charge people if a legitimate illness causes a crime (no mens rea). And with the side effects, how ethical is it to force (by court) the drugs that 'cure' them?
