WTF - So hang on. You have a convicted person who is a known MENTALLY ILL VIOLENT CRIMINAL. I know what we'll do - Let them out to mix with all and sundry but hey at least we will know where they are when they strangle / murder / rape some innocenet member of society. This may have been 'successful' to start with but its only a matter of time....

A great many of these people are only able to maintain a degree of acceptable stability because of the drugs that they are taking. Once away from a disciplined environment where their drug intake is monitored many of them will decide not to take the drugs anymore because either they don't think that they need tem anymore or to see how they get on without them. Either way at that point they become a threat to the "normal" people around them.
It is a recipe for disaster and a very niave decision.
