Please only answer if you have a serious idea on the topic at hand, thanks! 
Breif history: I have been with my boyfriend for 7 months now, were engaged. Unfortunatly (for both of us) he is bipolar, and has mood swings, which here lately have been quite extreme. For example he got mad at me, and actually hurt me (by twisting me neck, etc.) So I called the cops, and he was arrested. (Keep in mind when I first met my boyfriend (Chad) I had no idea he was bipolar as he showed no signs that I picked up on) He didn’t show me this side till down the road and when I saw it I was shocked/scared, etc. Your probley wandering why I stayed with him, after he hurt me the first time? I told myself it wouldn’t happen again, and when I’m with Chad I usually feel really happy, and so in love! He is a great guy and I do love him! When he has these mood swings though I look into his eyes and it’s like I don’t even know him and I’m seeing a different guy! I really beleive in my heart he has a really hard time controling his condition (especially since he’s currently NOT taking medication for it) Chad also has suicidal thoughts sometimes, and that scares me, because I love him. (He feels this way when things are going wrong-cars break down, no luck finding work, etc.) Keep in mind that these mood swings don’t happen EVERYDAY, they happen occasionally. Anyway this last time (he hurt me) I called the cops, and now he’s in jail and looking at 6months-2years in prison! I honestly beleive what he did to me was horrible, but beleive him going to prison will be a huge threat to his health, and very unbeneficial for both him and me!
I beleive what will really help is him going to a Mental Institute (instead of Prison), and getting the help he needs. (Getting Counceling-I’d be willing to go for support occasionally, Getting Anger Management–to learn how to deal with anger/stress, and of course get him on some medication) His Mom actually told me that I ONLY know the Chad off of mediacation. I asked if he was better on them, and she verified he was much better, and much more relaxed/calm.
Do you know if I ask the judge (or prosecuter) for his sentence to be deamed to a Mental Institute, instead of Prison he will-since I am the victim in the case?

At a sentencing hearing, there is, what they call, the ‘Victim’s Impact Statement,’ that you could, conceivably give verbally, before the judge pronounces sentence.
So in other words u wanted to send him to an asylum a.k.a. madhouse?
You can telephone the prosecutor and ask to have your opinion considered.
Just remember, it is the prosecutors job to protect you, even if you don’t want him to. If he fails to protect you, the news media and public will crucify him, despite you not wanting protection.
Don’t come back on here crying when he beats you again and you are seeking legal advice. You are making excuses for him. Go find a real man that is not a mental case. He will never be well, you need to accept that.
You are allowed to say what you want to see happen with the sentence, but the court doesn’t have to go along with it. The court cannot sentence someone to a mental institution. The court CAN require mental health treatment (and cooperation with that treatment) as a condition of probation.
You should be aware that his being suicidal greatly increases the likelihood that he will kill you. Suicidal ideation is a known risk factor in lethality assessment where domestic violence is concerned.
