Well said that Damien. A hugely disproportionate number of people in prison have mental health issues. As a civilised society (although sometimes one does wonder) we should provide treatment to those that need it, regardless of background. I don't ask that people have sympathy with criminals (although an understanding of the underlying causes of some crime might not go amiss) but you can have sympathy with their ill health.
