Perhaps its better to simply enable prison systems to treat people with mental illness properly without regard to whether the mental illness was diagnosed or related of the original reason they ended up in prison. Of course, treating mental illness is expensive and requires more staff per inmate, etc... Its my understanding there are quite a few schizophrenics in general population as its simply too expensive to deal with them in a more human fashion. But of course if we are talking about more humane treatment and possibly rehabilitative treatment then we need to extend the discussion to all prisoners.
