Description
Experts say jails and prisons have become the nation's largest psychiatric facilities. Mass incarceration, poverty, and a drug epidemic coupled with lack of access to treatment have resulted in the criminalization of the mentally ill in a system often unprepared to properly deal with the problem. In this book, I also look for various ways to identify people that need mental health care, how to treat them before they get into trouble with the law. I also look briefly at how we might be able to correct issues from early on in society to prevent troubled teens with signs of mental illnesses from becoming just another statistic, bound to a troubled life in the cycle of the system.
