    “Cultural love of rights and freedoms”

    Which includes being mentally ill in the streets. Despite what you are saying, it’s not because of a for-profit system, it’s because SCOTUS has literally ruled it to be illegal to involuntarily commit people who are not an imminent danger to themselves or others (a for-profit system actually benefits from involuntary commitment). This means that any mentally ill people can simply refuse treatment and roam the streets and that’s exactly what they do.
