My friend did not start working in those institutions till he was in his late 30's and said it changed one major thing about him. He went from being against the death penalty his whole adult life to saying he would happily shoot a lot of the patients between the eyes if he could get away with it. He said some people are just evil and there isn't any drug or therapy that will fix them. He said the mental hospitals don't have any higher success rate of curing people than the prison system. My nephew fits that bill, doesn't matter if you pat him on the back or kick him in the ass the results are the same.

This is so true. My first wife worked as a therapist in a state mental hospital for 32 years. Some people are born evil and better off dead for everyone's sake. Very, very few progress to full rehabilitation.
