I would be strongly against incarceration of epileptics, and in fact I would downright abhor it. Treating those are are ill or disabled as criminals is pretty dehumanizing and just ethically bankrupt, is it not? We see this commonly as it is with the elderly. As far as someone like Mallon, I agree that in such an extreme circumstance that people should be isolated from the wider society, but isolated and incarcerated are two different things. They should still be treated as human beings, and their isolation should be carried out in the most humane and dignified way possible, so that they can still live without feeling ashamed of themselves or being viewed as burden or abomination to society, both by themselves and from others.
