First up, Gotham might want to get a legitimate mental health facility in their city instead of a haunted house attraction masquerading as an asylum. Fix that and maybe people like Ridder, Joker, Scarecrow, etc would have a real chance at recovery. Until then, the city is failing the citizens of Gotham in the mental health department. I'd hate to see what Gotham's main hospital looks like.

Here, though, you’re arguing against the premise of the series. You don’t really want Arkham to get better, because you want to keep on doing stories where Batman faces the joker or the Riddler or whomever. So you want enough verisimilitude in the set-up so that it seems plausible, but you don’t actually want to build a system such that you don’t need super heroes in the first place.
