In the 70's there was a women named Mary (I forgot her last name ) who had severe mental problems. Her family tried to put her in an instition and she did not want to go. The good old ACLU got involved. They fought it all the way to the Supreme Court and got some severe limitations on how one is incarcerated. Now they have to be judged a danger to themselves or someone else. 

   In a peroid of some 3 years the 2/3 of the inmates were dumped out on the street. Most weere not a danger but just could not function.As soon as the ACLU realized the disaster they caused they said "Blame Regan. It happend on his watch." With frends like these..... 

   And the drug epidemic added to the problem along with foolish permissive laws amplified the problem!
