Maybe we should go back to the days of simply locking up anyone a
doctor says is mentally ill.

It was the progressives who had that policy declared illegal in the
70s.

It was Reagan that did away with the state run mental health hospitals
and programs.

I know that is the urban legend from the left but the fact is there
were many court decisions in the 70s turning over those involuntary
admissions and turning the people loose.
It is very hard to keep a person in custody for mental illness without
a court order, usually in a criminal court after they committed a
crime.

That's pretty much correct. You cannot be committed involuntarily to a
psych facility for more than 72 hours or so without a directive from the
court. Even if you acting weirdly and have just shot up a school, you
still get the hearing.
