    Maybe my comment could be a bit unhelpful, but I’m studying psychology while being active in my organization, so I would argue that antisocial disorders/ psychopathy wouldn’t make a person evil, but it’s understandable where this adjective is coming from, I mean, you would see in someone with this disorder a lack of empathy.

    There is absolutely a correlation between this type of disorder and the incarcerated population, since they would be more inclined to violent acts and a general disregard to law-abiding  behaviours.

    But I really do think that this discussion would be going beyond the good vs evil nature of mankind, and more in the bad or mad discussion, so if this condition could or should be considered in a lawsuit and things like that.

    I also apologize for any mistakes, as English is not my first language.

    TLDR: probably best to not look at that trough a necessarily political lense, but through a psychological one
