People with psychosis can go to jail if they commit a crime. However, the legal system may consider their mental health when determining their sentence or the appropriate treatment. Drawing on the circumstances of the case and the individual's mental state, the court may opt for psychiatric treatment or a specialized facility rather than traditional incarceration.
