Official neglect and apathy happens in the most advanced societies where there are checks and balances established. In this case I was outraged that someone had to spend over 40 years in the Mental Hospital. This is a classic case of official neglect, that is often seen in the realms of bureaucracy. It is not like this man is unsupported, he has lawyers fighting his case but the red tape is so strong that even men of law have not been able to penetrate this.
I wonder what kind of life this man is going to have even if he is freed today. I hope he has some kind of family that will take him in and care for him during his sunset years. A potentially productive life wasted due to official neglect.
