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.'

There may come a time, before they die, when mentally ill people who were deemed a danger to themselves or others, are no longer a danger. There may also never come that time, or that cure in every case. I wouldn't know when that time would be, as I'm no professional, but it shouldn't be assumed that they're magically no longer a threat, especially if confinement is for the protection of the society. If it's for the punishment of acts, then that's a whole different conversation.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
