If you’re not already crazy, going to prison or ESPECIALLY a mental “institution” will certainly make you crazy. Real criminals that go to prison & get released at some point are almost NEVER “rehabbed”. They just learn ways from the other criminals on how to be BETTER at being a criminal! It’s like being in criminal college.
The important thing (imo) is there should be clear definitions, so that those genuinely insane are found to be insane. We hear of people claiming insanity to get lesser sentences and they succeed, while those insane are found guilty and put in prison without the medical care they need.
Temporary insanity plea... The four tests for insanity are the M'Naghten test, the irresistible-impulse test, the Durham rule, and the Model Penal Code test (substantial capacity). Temporary insanity is claimed as a defense whether or not the accused is mentally stable at the time of trial.
Depends on what kind of PTSD and the circumstances. If they are in the military, they will be court martial and face UCMJ which is worse than civilian court. It is hard to tell case by case.
One thing that stands out to me is that, a person who is deemed criminally insane can't use that defense repeatedly if engaging in criminal activity. So basically almost every Batman villain should be sent to a supermax prison after their first offence instead of Arkham. It is things like this that really take away the believability of things one used to enjoy in their childhood as an adult.
I feel like the insanity plea in media, and therefore how it's presented to children, is oftentimes portrayed as a sort of get out of jail free card. I mean, you still get locked up, but all you have to do is be like, "I'm insane," to avoid being more severely punished.
An asylum for the criminally insane is worse than prison... they don’t just keep releasing criminally insane people onto the streets they spend more time behind bars with an insanity plea vs had then just pled guilty
@@gurvmlk Well it isn’t a “get out of jail free” card. It’s not like someone gets the insanity plea and their only consequence is court ordered therapy weekly and medication.

@@derekclawson5707 So true, staff are horrible and always are on some kind of power trip. The only difference is that they can pump you full of tranquilizers when you act up.
The bar for criminally insane should be set lower so that there’s a better chance for those with mental problems to be able to seek help instead of prison. Meanwhile the sentences should automatically be life in a mental institution until the person is completely healed. This will remove the incentive for true criminals to take the insanity plea knowing that they will more likely be locked up for life in a mental hospital subjected to experimental treatments.
i work at a phychiatric facility (think locked hospital, nothing like an asylum from movies), and doctors talk about their time with criminally insane patients. they pretty much ALWAYS say jail time is better than successfully pleading insanity. pretty much worldwide, jails offer better day to day conditions, and at least offer a chance at getting out depending on the sentence. the same can absolutely not be said for "insane asylums". most people typically stay for life and conditions are worse despite having different privileges.
There would be nothing to gain from this plea unless they wanted to escape the death penalty. They’re still locked up in a lunatic asylum for the criminally insane, and are locked up twice as long had they chosen to just plea guilty

Dahmer needed to get drunk to dismember the bodies. Prosecution proved that he was well aware of what he was doing and for him to stomach dismemberment of the bodies he needed to get drunk. That was why his insanity plea was turned down.
it is worse you have more freedom in prison or jail than in a mental facility plus you get discredited and since people think or assume or have you labeled you mentally ill how are they going to believe what you're saying is true and u don't have the same rights as a inmate doing time behind bars in prison or jail
I once knew a guy who stuffed peanut butter down his pants and in court he reached in grabbed a handful and took a bite out of it. He got off with clinically insane and got two years instead of 10 for the crime.
Being set up to be murdered, for months, being under 24 7 illegal surveillance, stalked, followed is one way to push someone to being criminally insane

The belief that your one step ahead of the average man and take advantage of this erroneous belief but finding that your seven steps behind your own government in whatever country you reside in.
i think people forget that you don't want to be found criminally insane if you truly aren't. mental asylums are one of the worst places you can be. it is easy to convince someone you're crazy, but near impossible to convince someone you're sane. you will most likely spend the rest of your life in an asylum if found criminally insane and put on a bunch of severe medications. if you go to prison, however, you get to leave once your time is served, and even get out early due to good behavior. most of the time, prison isn't horrible like tv makes it out to be.
What's criminally insane is the UK tory government taking £20 a week off people who need it, but cry wolf if anyone dares take away their £25-a-day parliamentary meal allowance...

My wife was criminally insane but she had boarder line personality disorder, a condition which is confused with paranoia. She had been telling lies about me from when we first met. If I were as she insisted, she would have had no inclination to keep my company.
