I used to watch 60 minutes every Sunday years ago. I remember them doing a bit about the mentally ill and violent homeless who were constantly being arrested, hospitalized and released. I don't recall the de·institutionalizing of America being mentioned.

We had a case here locally where a recently released schizophrenic women killed her Grandma. She said voices told her it was her Grandmas time. The woman's family tried to keep her in a mental hospital but the hospital had to release her. She was initially charged with first degree murder but it has since been reduced. Everyone knows she is nuts but no one could do anything about it.

“...a recently released schizophrenic women...”

I’m too lazy to look it up in my style book, do you pluralize one body with multiple personalities? :)
