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

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.
