Sadly I almost agree with this. Sending this guy to prison wouldn't help him at all as prisons are notorious for not exactly ensuring treatment, and other hardened criminals aren't exactly sensitive to dealing with the truly mentally f%%ked.
A prison term might serve the family of the victim who are undoubtedly in pain.
But there's no rehabilitation chances in a prison sentence for this character who is severely mentally ill.
At least in a mental hospital, he'll get treated, he won't be dealing with the worst of the worst, and he probably won't get out.
