The state has to balance the interest that the child has in receiving adequate care, with the interest that outside society has in not having murderers walking freely in the street. Ideally, the state would provide the best care that it can inside the jail/prison.

Yes, of course the state is balancing interests, where did I imply otherwise?

Sure, but is the mother there for murder? Does this cost more than some alternative that’s “too soft”?

  She is accused of murder. Harrell, 24, has been jailed without bond since July, when she was accused of fatally shooting another woman and charged with second-degree murder

    So she's not even convicted yet, is that correct?

      Sure, but what's your point? Being accused of murder can lead to detainment, which naturally bears the risk of temporarily detaining innocent people. That's the tradeoff society has agreed to.
