Many persons brought before a criminal court have mental illness, have committed minor offenses, and are off medications. The judge consults the nurse at the local community mental health center for guidance about how to respond when handling such cases.
 
  Which advice from the nurse would be most appropriate?
 
  a. Sometimes a little time in jail makes a person rethink what they've been doing and puts them back on the right track.
  b. Sentencing such persons to participate in treatment instead of incarcerating them has been shown to reduce repeat offenses.
  c. Arresting these people helps them in the long run. Sometimes we cannot hospitalize them, but in jail they will get their medication.
  d. Research suggests that special mental health courts do not make much difference so far, but outpatient commitment does seem to help.
