The problem I have with mental illness is that it really applies to anybody who commits these types of crimes. I realize there is a legal definition of "insane", which is not necessarily the same diagnosis from a mental health professional, but to me its immaterial for the purpose of whether they go to prison or whether they go to a mental health hospital.
The purpose of prison is to remove people from society so they can do no more harm. Part of prison should include mental health treatment, as an assumed need for any prisoner, and naturally some will require more depth of treatment than others.
