I would guess at least half the time I am a lawyer of the day I run across one person in court that has some sort of undiagnosed disability that can easily lead to a criminal record, making survival harder. It can be cognitive impairment, mental illness, trauma, physical, etc.
We are failing the vulnerable, which is both inhumane and a taxpayer burden. Jails are expensive, doesn't fit most solutions. Providing services for those with capacity issues, and perhaps developing better services to help with societal supports is the way we should be headed.

It's not necessarily an expansion of government, it's a refocusing of $ to the preventative and truly enabling people who can participate in society to do so. Wouldn't you rather pay more in prevention and support and less in consequence management?
