Reply to comment by yankuniz in What forced hospitalization feels like in New York City, as Mayor Adams pushes for more by psychothumbs

We need to get people with violent history’s that are homeless off the streets. Most are deep in addiction/mental illness, and are ticking time bombs. It’s not humane or safe for anyone to live under these conditions.

This is more criteria than most people are giving in the comments. I do not disagree with you, but I would like to see some very strict guidelines that are publicly debated, agreed upon and adjusted over time. Many of these people have no advocates so there needs to be oversight and transparency. We cannot turn this into a system of locking people away without fair trials.
