We did. The ratio of people in Mental institutions to prisons was about 2 to 1. By percentage, the combination is similar to the percentage we put in prison alone today.

We did away with the mental institutions, substituting the criminal justice system. Add in the "homeless" issue. Most of the homeless in the USA have mental problems.

But, instead of trying to help people with mental issues, we ENCOURAGE them by promoting things like "transgenderism". Yes, we are in a crazy science experiment.
