Punishment would be putting them in with violent sane prisoners in a regular prison. Containing the mentally ill that have gotten violent isn't saying they are like the sane. But it also does not mean they are safe in society either.
Don't confuse punishment with containment. If you want to argue Hinkley and Yates are mentally ill, I am with you. Nobody should argue they deserve the needle or gas chamber or waterboarding. But they are still a danger to society.
Bundy and Dahmer are/were not mentally ill. Hinkley and Yates should not get out. Not because they knew what they were doing, but because they are a danger to public safety. They should not be punished or abused at all. But that does not make them safe for the public.

Have you (and I mean YOU, personally) ever been confined for an extended period of time? If you haven't, then kindly belt up about shit you couldn't possibly understand. Saying things like this makes you sound like even more of a facile idiot than I've given you credit for.
The point is, there comes a time when mentally ill people who were once a danger to society are a danger no longer. There's a reason mental illness is called an 'illness'- because it's treatable, you dumb fuck. And YOU, of all people, are not the least bit qualified to say '...they are still a danger to society.'
