Why do you call it a facility?

Do i need to explain the difference between treatment at a pyschiatric center vs the offer of psychiatric treatment in a prison?

If you think they are somehow equivalent, you are very much mistaken.

You are putting somebody with pyschiatric illness in with hardened criminals. Do they welcome him with open arms?

The first was rejected by Mr Clarke's own country before committing any crime. The second was offered following a crime which could have cost somebody their life.

It's a very clear difference in my mind.
