We actually have special prisons for mentally insane criminals and judges usually include that kind of imprisonment in their sentences.

Exactly. Putting them in regular prison is putting both them and the other inmates at risk. Not to mention that it's hardly fair for schizophrenics to receive the same sentences as healthy people.
This guy wasn't sentenced. This was a detention center, a jail, not a prison. Jails mostly hold people who couldn't make bail, or who haven't seen a judge yet. This guy wasn't there much longer than a month after. He was sent to treatment and was out on the street again in another few months.
