Who not only couldnt understand the concept of a God, but had a twisted sense of life and took joy from others suffering, and thus had to spend thier life masked and in a straight jacket so they wouldn't hurt others around them. Would they go to heaven?

Absolutely not. Been there, done that.

Mentally handicapped people never develop the mind of an adult so they would be exempt from condemnation, the same as children.
I believe it is the uniform testimony of Scripture that those who are not capable of making a decision to receive Jesus Christ, and who have died, are now with Christ in heaven, resting in His tender arms, enjoying the sweetness of His love. There are numerous factors supporting this viewpoint.
It is highly revealing that in all the descriptions of Hell in the Bible, we NEVER read of infants or little children there. Only adults capable of making decisions are seen there. Nor do we read of infants and little children standing before the Great White Throne judgement, which is the judgement of the wicked dead and the precursor to the lake of fire (Rev 20:11-15). The complete silence of Scripture regarding the presence of infants in eternal torment militates against their being there.
Jesus and the children. As we examine instances in which Christ encountered children during His earthly ministry, it would seem that children have a special place in His kingdom. Jesus even said, "Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Mat 18:3) He also said, "Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me (verse 5). I don't think there is any way someone could read through Matthew 18 and conclude that it is within the realm of possibility that Jesus could damn such little ones to hell!

There are those types of individuals and I have personally worked with a few of them my self in this life. By the very grace of God, and His prevenient grace that person would not have reached the age of accountability - that is that he would be held responsible for knowledge of sin, and sin God's mercy is supplied for such individuals he would go to Heaven on that issue alone, God is not eager that any should perish but that all should come to know Him, He is compassionate and gracious God, a loving God, he is not the one who delights in sending souls to Hell. But he has made a way of escape that those who believe in him will walk in that way, and those who cannot understand that, fall under God's protection, as His little ones.

The only way to get to heaven Jesus taught us in St. John 3:5. St. Peter preached it on the Day of Pentecost Acts 2:38. It is still the Greatest Message in the history of mankind. This the formula for Salvation, so you can answer your own question!

Seeing as there time on earth would be hell (even though they wouldn't have no apprehension of it) I assume that God would give them the chance to go to heaven and alliviate their misery

GOD TAKES CARE OF FOOLS AND CHILDREN!!! WHEN SOMEONE IS INCAPABLE OF FUNCTIONING IN A MENTAL CAPACITY ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS , THEN NO THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SOULS. THAT'S WHY WE PRAY FOR THEM.
