Should I feel bad that doing my job sometimes means that murderers and other types of law-breakers have gone free or have received a lesser sentence than they likely would have otherwise

I think many people, Doctor, would disagree with your argument that being in an institution constitutes freedom.

I think that others could agree that temporary internment with therapy and pills is much better than life in prison, with steel bars and killers.

It isn't often "temporary." And the state of the mental hospitals is really quite ghastly, it's unfortunate. Not everyone would rather risk a lobotomy. But that's perhaps what a great deal of criminals deserve.

I couldn't agree more! Of course, it's never always institutionalization. There are some very talents lawyers these days.

So I often hear.
