There needs to be education for law enforcement, corrections officers, and a complete change in laws protecting people from themselves and the system. Conditions are so bad and restrictions so tight that professional volunteers can't even try to help. This book clearly helps us understand what a colossal failure the criminal justice system is for those with mental health problems. More books could be written on the topic and far more investigation done on the topic. After this book the experienced professional will have a far better understanding of what's real, but it will take a lot more to fully understand. Also, there are those who try to pull the wool over the eyes and fake mental illness. They frequently don't understand confused or unstable mental health problems and treat people as being resistant. Law enforcement is there to stop criminals, not babysit sick people. We see this in the real world all the time. It's easy to see how people would turn to substance use to get over the horrors and trauma experienced by those misunderstood and locked up- if they survive solitary confident with their lives or their eyeballs. ![]() ![]() This is required reading for a Master of Social Work class related to intersections of mental health, trauma and addiction. This book was easy to keep listening to because of the interesting and almost unbelievable stories suffered by those who are locked up, and very difficult to listen to for the same reasons. ![]()
