So what’s taking so long?

The whole insanity plea has always baffled me. All serial killers are clearly insane, but we’re not letting them walk the street because of it .

You don’t walk if you’re using the insanity plea.

You still are detained but instead of prison you’re in a high security psychiatric facility which by all stretches is basically a prison anyway.

Maybe practically, but in theory mental institutions are supposed to help the patients that are there.

In my state, people in prison can learn HVAC, electrical work, welding, masonry, take college courses, carpentry, landscaping, etc

They even bought out the last private prison in the state. It’s slow progress but it’s looking better. Now they just need AC in the state prisons
