If the state puts you on trial, do you automatically qualify for state-provided mental health services? I assume incarceration also comes with psychiatric care. If I went to prison I’d probably need a lot of therapy even if I accepted my punishment. More, if I didn’t.

Incarceration is punitive. Psychiatric "care" in prison is sedative drugs and physical restraints to enforce compliance, not cures.

  No. If someone falls and cuts their finger in prison, I’d hope it was bandaged. The mind is a bunch of fingers.
