Now go find the story of the homeless guy in Hawaii that was arrested and locked in a mental ward because the police thought he was someone else with an open warrant for 2 YEARS. Every time he tried to correct this, he was deemed “crazy” and given high doses of powerful drugs. Nobody bothered, or cared to simply double check his fingerprints or look at a photo of the real guy that was wanted (the real guy was in prison in Alaska).

Unfortunately at the time these people were deemed to be unfit to make that kind of decision, and if they had no family outside the facility there was no one to make that choice for them.
