Should We Bring Back Mental Institutions?

Author: Salem Media of Colorado May 13, 2026 Duration: 46:08

The man who walked into a plane engine at Denver International Airport was intent on killing himself and has a long rap sheet that includes being found incompetent to face some charges.  Jeff, Bill, and callers debate if we should bring back mental institutions.  Do we need to get the mentally ill off the street?  If so, who pays for it and how long are they institutionalized?
