There are a considerable number of Veterans who have come in contact with law enforcement and committed a felony. This could be as a result of the post traumatic stress disorder that they may have, and not know it.
As a result there are a number of veterans who are presently serving time in our prison system today. It would be helpful if state statistics as well as federal be brought up to date to identify what number it is. With the budget cuts, the cost over runs in our state prisons, it may be more efficacious to treat the veterans in the VA system than to incarcerate them in the state prison system.
