It's devastating what has happened to all the hospitals. Now there are a few high-end places for the super wealthy, or jails, as you mentioned, or family and others who love the person are expected to house and care for them (which sadly, results in unhoused individuals in many cases). Particularly those with serious mental illness. It's proof that our society doesn't care. Your photos are heartbreaking.
The lack of institutional support for mental health services is troubling to me. I feel like there is a focus on the ugliness that happened in these institutions as opposed to the potential that can be achieved in future iterations.
