Is your first instinct that jail is too harsh and we should find them a qualified therapist?

I have several elderly relatives (including my 70+ year old parents) and if a person infected them with TB or Covid through gross negligence I would not wonder how we can help that person. I don't know if I am a bad person or what, but I struggle not to fall into tribalistic patterns mentally and view dangerous outsiders as people who should be shunned instead of people who need help. I guess I was just curious if your first instinct is so generous.
