What are the most infamous insane asylums?
Bedlam, which was actually a corruption of the Biblical Bethlehem, this is or was located in England. Kings County in Brooklyn, Bellevue in Manhattan- one notes very smooth- golf course sounding names to the Funny Houses- Woodbridge, Willowbrook, for example, Bellevue I stated earlier. The state hospitals for the Criminally Insane, they are the real abodes of the lost souls. Guards routinely carry firearms and doctors are authorized, though not required to pack weapons. As you can guess from the name- criminally Insane people are all convicted of crimes- but have pleaded Insanity. Nice people to stay away from. The ACLU correctly calls the Criminally Insane hospitals ( Prison Mental hospitals) which is what they are.

What is capital punishment for the mental retardation?
The High Court- that is the Supreme Court has ruled it would be considered ( Cruel and Unusual punishment) which is banned by the 8Th amendment to execute somebody who is demonstrably Mentally Retarded. Mental illness at the time of the crime is another angle. The defendant can, of course be incarcerated in prisons- and/or mental hospitals in both the retarded and mentally ill ( less firm ground to the Court) cases. That is why they have State Hospitals for the Criminaly Insane that are indistinguishable, security-wise from regular jails. the ACLU correctly classes them as Prison mental hospitals. Guards and physicians routinely carry firerarms on duty in these places and fire exits are padlocked, etc. tight as a drum for the Criminally Insane. Capital punishment, however, has been banned in the cases of Mentally retarded people who commit capital crimes ( for example shooting and kiling a Cop) That is how the High Court has ruled.
