I once worked in a max security psych unit. We received a patient that had committed a pretty serious offense involving her children. (Children are alive, don’t worry)
Patient was so out of it that she legitimately did not understand what she had done. I won’t say her diagnoses, but I’m sure you can guess.
She was only with us for 2 weeks and was immediately sent to prison after a trial. The woman barely knew her name or what has been going on in her life for the past 4 months, but the system deemed her suitable for prison. The prison system is a joke imo, and it helps no one but the people getting rich off them. Sad.
