Question For "Oz" Fans, Regarding Cyril O'Reiley?!
Question: Since he is simple-minded and severely retarded wouldn't people like him be under psychiatric evaluation and committed to an institution rather than serve time in prison?
Also, since he was executed I thought that you have to be of a certain IQ to be considered for death. They do not execute the mentally retarded in real-life?
Is this true?

not necessarily, being handicapped does not automatically mean they send them to a hospital. they send teenagers to prison. they do have to be a certain IQ, but it is pretty low.
