I have to comment I worked parttime in a jail. The psychiatric and medical care is atrocious. They may be given medication but they are not monitored in taking the meds. A lot of prisoners stash their meds or sell them trade them to other prisoners. And meds don't help anti-social personalities as it is a personality disorder not chemical. So what to do I don't know but there needs to better psychiatric treatment in prisons. And as far as theraphy goes I'm no expert on that and don't profess to be but to my knowledge they have AA, NA meetings. Don't know of group theraphy. Maybe pet theraphy for those who qualify. We definitely have problems in this country. Should be a State Mental Hospital or a Prison? I don't know Fondly , Phillipa
