My opinion is that no new institutions are not the answer. I think that counselors in prisons could possible refer newly released prisoners who have sz and  no where to go, no one to turn to be suggested to group homes that are ran by counselors etc can encourage meds and for those who have been housed in prisons for years help them learn the ropes to society and either help them get jobs or Social Security or SSI or retirement. Helping them integrate back into society and helping them by helping them find permanent housing like land and a trailer or house. Having group meetings and one on one meetings sometimes while at the group house. By no means should anyone be made to live in institutions that would be like prison or guilty of something that the person will not likely do before they do anything wrong. CoMMunist would kindof be like that used to be sounds like, Science projects. And after those people serve their time in prison it should be their choice to choose group houses or not. Those people however should be encouraged to take thier meds and talked to like people not just schizo's. Want to mention something that is kindof off the subject. There once was a test I heard about two people who did'nt really have and mental illness signed themselves into several different mental hospitals over a period of years they would always be diagnosed usually with different diagnoses they always was themselves while they where there and did not try to seem like they had an illness. Well one of them sometimes would be diagnosed sz and when that happened they noticed that they where treated very different by staff after a diagnoses the other guy noticed that always to that the one diagnosed with depression or something different the person that suppposedly had depression was treated better and even was talked to one on one when the one that supposedly had sz was treated unfair and treated very different. I heard this on a documentary a few year back.
