Read the text below and answer the following
questions based on it.
Prisoners and Mental Illness
Are too many with psychiatric problems behind bars?
Thousands of people with schizophrenia, severe
depression, delusional disorders or other mental problems
are locked up, often in solitary confinement. While some
committed violent crimes and remain a threat to themselves
or other inmates and prison staff, many are incarcerated for
minor offenses, simply because there is no place to send
them for treatment. The number of mentally ill inmates has
mushroomed in recent years as states have closed their
psychiatric hospitals in favor of outpatient community mental
health centers that typically are underfunded and
overcrowded. In an attempt to reduce the influx of mentally
ill inmates, some 300 specialized mental health courts have
diverted them into court-monitored treatment instead of jail.
Yet, many participants re-offend, and some experts say
psychiatric treatment alone won't prevent criminal behavior.
Meanwhile, courts in more than a half-dozen states have
declared solitary confinement unconstitutional for those with
mental illness. However, some corrections officials say
solitary is necessary to separate dangerous prisoners.
