A thought that crossed my mind today was that instead of having these luxurious centers, that the government spends so much money on, why not have centers that are like prisons but that don't cost a lot of money. For example, the government states that people who have mental problems should be helped and worked with. That is understandable to a certain extent. In such a case as this, then why shouldn't centers like this be like prisons, but have teachers and people to help these offenders to get better. In civil commitment centers, everything is very high class for a offender of such a crime to live in. From workout areas, to nice beds, food, and so forth. So again the same question comes to mind, for people who have harmed other peoples families, have hurt another human, that have caused so many problems and distress, all the money being spent on them is worth it?The government doesn't want to release these people to world yet due to mental problems they might have, fine! But then why not keep them in a place so these people feel the pain of living in such a horrible environment. If these offenders are really "mentally ill" then they might find the civil commitment centers as a place to relax and enjoy there lives. A place of not having to worry about mortgage, bills and payments. No matter what the case being, whether the offenders are ill, mentally, physically or emotionally, what they did in the past is the main reason they went to prison and should be treated like one.
