Is it better to incarcerate someone who will not voluntarily take a necessary

Is it better to incarcerate someone who will not voluntarily take a necessary medication (anti-psychotic) or force them to do so? (How do we define "necessary"? Person is disruptive, person may commit a murder, person may commit suicide...) In other words, if they won't take the drug, they have to stay locked up. If they want to be free, someone will administer it to them as a condition of release. Thanks.
