这两段有意思。如果把所有类别的精神病患者算进去，那么美国多于50%的犯人(一百
万)是患有精神病。为什么有这么多精神病患者犯罪？是因为认为精神病患者会变得
好些如果他们融合于社会中，因而从50年起关掉了许多的精神病院。
What percentage of the U.S. jail and prison population is mentally ill?
Of the nearly 2 million inmates being held in prisons and jails across the
country, experts believe nearly 500,000 are mentally ill. According to the
National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), 16 percent of the prison
population can be classified as severely mentally ill, meaning that they
fit the psychiatric classification for illnesses such as schizophrenia,
major depression, and bipolar disorder. According to staff at city and community jails, 25 percent of the jail population is severely mentally ill. However, when other mental illnesses, such as anti-social personality disorder, borderline personality disorder and depression, are included, the numbers are much higher, and NAMI puts the number of inmates suffering from both mental illness and substance abuse the percentage at well over 50 percent.
Why are so many mentally ill people ending up behind bars? Who is to blame?
Most experts agree that the increasing number of imprisoned mentally ill
people is due to two major policy shifts over the past decades. One was
deinstitutionalization, or the process of closing down mental hospitals
throughout the country that began in the 1950s. The idea was that the mentally ill would do better living back in the community with a community-based mental health care system in place to handle their needs. But adequate funding, coordination and commitment didn't follow this change and the lack of resources and commitment to a community-based system of care continues to be a problem in the vast majority of American communities.
不是说精神病患者犯法没罪吗？
