Mentally retared people "does" go to jail when they commit a crime. Often more so than non-mentally retarded people "does" go to jail.
If they have been charged, its up to the judge where they go, and the DA (state) recommends jail...if they have a good/paid defense lawyer, they can fight for the accused and put their case properly before the judge with medical documentation to support the need for placing them in a hopital over a jail as they await their trail.
When these defendants (or their family) "doesn't" have the money to pay for their legal defense, unfortunately the judge can't make a proper determination, and the accused "does" wait out their time in jail...and IF convicted (or when)...they "does" spend their sentence IN JAIL or PRISON...not a state or county medical facility...where they belong.
Jail and Prison is NOT the place for these accused/convicts. But, often times more so than not, this is where they "does" go.

Why do people act retarded?
Believe me, retarded people are not acting. People who play act, imitating what they believe is a retarded person's behavior, are simply ignorant and probably in desperate need of attention with a severely retarded self-esteem. Such 'actors' are considered bullies, ridiculing the defenselessness of another person.
