The Pinrose Hypothesis

From 1880 to 2005, the percentage of people with mental illness in prison rose from less than 1% to 21%. There's a study from the mid 90s that found that the population of the unhoused in the United States was at 100,000 in 1980. And then in 1988, it was up to 400,000. The Pinrose hypothesis lays the blame squarely on D institutionalization.
