We may have people who are not mentally ill stuck in mental hospitals for the same reason as the innocent in prison.
Other countries probably have many more innocent people in prison and/or "troublemakers" for the powerful in mental hospitals where they do not belong.

Good points Tal. My wife has volunteered two days a week for almost ten years at a local charity thrift store and a food pantry. She has gotten to know many of the recipients and their stories, and many would break your heart. She watches for childrens clothing to come in and she brings it home to wash, then takes it back and sets it aside for impoverished children whom it will fit. She is not a saint, and gets back as much as she gives, but don't tell her that all, or even most, welfare cases are lazy no-accounts.
