How much is too much?
I think the law makes some provisions for mental illness and culpability. How far that goes I don’t know, but I’ve heard of people charged with a capital crime getting off because they were mentally ill. They have to go to a mental health hospital for a good long while, though. It’s hard to know what is the fault of the disease and what is the fault of bad character. I think Charles Manson spent the rest of his life in a mental institution that really wasn’t much better than prison.
No…Charles Manson was in an actual prison.

No, he spent the rest of his life in prison, not a mental institution. The argument being that hospitals were meant for rehabilitation and he was too dangerous and sociopathic and manipulating to be in a mental institution and that they could control him better in prison.
