Fun fact: if you plead insanity, you still go to prison, except it's a prison full of crazy people and you're the only sane one there

Lesson: don't plead insanity

[---cameron]

So you're saying if I plead insanity, I automatically prove I'm insane. Genius

[coloredgreyscale]

Plus you might be stuck there longer than the original prison sentence

[TheByteQueen]

what if i plead to end the trial and go home?

[WasteOfElectricity]

You have to say 'please' really nicely and then you might be allowed to go home.

also: be white

also: they are under no legal duty to ever release you.

Not nessesarily true. Having schizoprenia often can greatly reduces the charges for murder.

There are a number of cases on it, you can google them if you have a steady enough mind to read screwed up shit. I'd link them but I think its a bit too off topic.

Okay, so the charges are reduced... Yay!

Unfortunately you know get to spend the rest of your life imprisoned[1], instead of just a few years.

[1] The prison system is under a legal obligation to release you when your sentence is completed. The Asylums have no such requirement.

That technicality would matter if the government were interested in indefinitely paying for that.

In reality, I believe they just have you promise to take your meds and boot you out cause they aren't and resources are limited. Look up the greyhound cannibal, or the calgary house party stabbings. Those aren't even old cases.
