100% he won't get the help he needs in prison.. If the courts feel that 20 years is a sufficient enough time for him to serve and then to released back into society, then they should take every measure to assure that the kid is given help to control his issues and suppress his anger.
If they sent him to an institution he would still be serving out his 20 years, but at the same time he'd be getting the help he needs to make sure he's rehabilitated before being thrown back out into the big bad world, rather than just keeping him locked up in a cell for 23 hours a day.. which, if his mental health is as fragile as we're lead to believe, will probably make him deteriorate into a worse state.
