If someone can't properly control himself, then it's up to society to ensure that nobody is harmed.

Society also had to ensure, that this is done in a way that causes him as little harm as possible.

Victims should come before the perpetrator though. It's better to harm the bad actor slightly too much rather than make even more victims. Why innocent people should be at risk if somebody just can't be responsible for himself.

I think it is wrong to value the well-being of some humans more than others.

It is wrong to do harm.

Why someone's well being is more important because he has an illness? What if he hurts other vulnerable people? E.g. psycho attacking kids. Should we care about psycho's well being more than about kids safety? What if we take it the other way and kids attack mentally ill? Should we care about their well-being more, because they're kids?
