Oh, I also wanted to add one more thing.

The thing about 'better mental help' being a solution is that...there's sociopaths and psychopaths out there. No amount of therapy can 'fix' them. Thus they'd either remain locked up, or there'd need to be...other ways to keep them away from the public. Would society really advocate for that? Would you trust the government/medical community to be able to sort the psychos from the rest of us? I mean, Dr. JerkAss could totally write you up as a 'irredeemable, violent sociopath' and throw you in a pen forever because you looked at him the wrong way. Just wanted to point this out.
