Healthy Minds - 410 - Mental Health and the Criminal Justice System

Wow brilliant. This is a great man who cares for the mentally I’ll in society. He is a great visionary. The justice system needs more men and woman like this. God bless him.

[@amymccartymartin5147]

Wow! Yes. I hope your visions keep growing and spread amongst our beloved town.

This deserves so much more attention than what it’s being given. The plan he has for the facility alone is astounding, and the amount of money that a program and facility could save the state is wild. Getting recidivism down to 6% for people with minor federal offenses is astounding. The only issues I see will be the fact that it will most likely have issues with availability like all mental health facilities. I also want to see whether or not it would be able to treat and help house those with high acuity psych issues that no facilities will accept. Definitely feel like it needs to be expanded to other states as well.

You cannot deny speedy trial for anyone because the victims deserve it as well as the criminals. All criminals have mental illness and need rehabilitation due to a crime they committed or for being put with criminals where they have never belonged.

[@lisabrown6537]

Not all places agree with that there's places that exist where people are not allowed to participate in rehabilitation programs and that is real .you have no idea what some people are put through some people who had misdemeanors who were put on antipsychotics that destroyed their mental health gave them CUMPULSIVE behaviors they never had before it's way more than what it's said it's a matter of getting people who have ended up in jail on them medications it's a big money maker and collection of money from the insurances that's what I found out from trying to help my son what do you think those meds are going to do to people who functioned just like anyone who has overcome a addiction or hardship in life it's going to give them some. Opposite side effects they end up in such a drastic situation then their put back in jail forced to go through the vicious cycle a human being HAVEING to go through that is horrific the WITHDRAWLS from discontinuation of the meds that they are forced to go through because jails release them in unsafe conditions and provide no medication to continue a treatment they put someone on so they end up with horrifying WITHDRAWLS that cause physchosis then their out there talking to themselves HAVEING illusinations and more cops think their really. Crazy themselves and that's how they was born they end up assaulted by police thrown back in jail have even false charges on them because they don't want people like that on the streets they have no care when they find out that it was someone who acted normal before the meds the police just ignore that NOONE helps someone who has had this done to them and I'm sure they would have been better off being themselves everyone commits some kind of act once in their life everyone does how many people don't get caught driving home drunk from the bar. So many things people do yet they are quick to judge a situation when there can be someone who has been done wrong. It's like they take people whom they know have no gang affiliated backup and mess up their lives because they know they won't get trouble from someone maybe I speak a whole new situation you don't know about butt it's connected to the same thing eventually because it just don't stop it's crazy and if you complain about what's being done to your loved one than your loved one gets punished for bad. I understand what your saying people who commit crimes belong in jail need rehabilitation butt that's not always the case you can't even go up to someone getting assaulted or abused and help that person and get the abuser off them so a victim can escape the abuser can get pisst that you helped and he can assault you for it also and then stand there and call the police and blame you for assault even if you have human bite marks on your body from the abuser you will be the one going to jail and you will face the judge all for helping someone not get beat up .and you will end up ending up with a mental illness cause the jail makes you take meds so many people even for something very minor shoplifting let's say end up in jail put on medication alot of them people come out of them jails looking like they have mental illness because of the drugs they push on people in there and their lives take a drastic change ain't so many people ever been seen with mental illnesses until they came out of the jails and now the same judges who know this has happened act like their helping they should have stopped the damage to other human beings when it started butt it's all a system where they all work together and help each other make money they truly don't give a damn about what just happened to someone's life and this is a true fact that everyone leaves out. If you look at it with open eyes then who are the ones really commiting a bad act.from where many of us are standing people in the legal system are the most dangerous of the kind .you can't change my opinion on that I seen it with my own eyes and people have fear put into them if they dare try and speak up people are victomized hardcore big time I saw how it all happens and NOONE cares to stop it people are so consumed with themselves they don't take a minute to help long as it isn't happening to them then so what. That's how it is . Oh wow so now a judge who was part of the damage is being praised where was he when. Someone who functioned like a normal human being started EXPIEEIENCEING SIDEEFFECTS from them meds that that Judge ordered someone to take that person I'm sure stood in front of him before being able to answer him normal and most likely cause he was normal that person had more of a chance to recover from whatever his hardship was then he shows up at court all messed up all out of it or talking to himself after a couple of weeks HAVEING to do what the jail nurse says .you know daing well that judge remembers how that person use to function before if he cared or cares why isn't he stopping the damages done to people's brains right where it's coming from ? Know why he don't ,because it wouldn't benefit him !

[@lisabrown6537]

It's crazy it's devastating to watch where is there help when your trying to save someones life of someone who had changed and not COMMITED a crime of the past that he was charged with when a real criminal had COMMITED a act against him and that criminal made him fear speaking out you can't change the past on a situation like that butt after the person showed change in his life as they would say after he's labeled a certain way and he ends up in jail for shoplifting which was yes a dumb act butt to make someone intentionally go through the extreme of all I spoke about and to other people also it is wrong and you can't make up for lives you ruin like that no matter how many people you start to help you were part of TAKEING someone's life from them .and that makes you QUILTY of a wrongful act also . Except you have the legal right to do so. I've seen so many people come out them jail doors so messed up they try and refuse what is harming them and they get SEVERLY beaten it's so violent so tramatic so heartbreaking and it continues they set a goal and they achieve it a bad goal and people end up being sent to mental wards alot don't return ever some just DISAPEAR end up becoming victims of gang violence and are never found again and them GANGMEMBERS get together and make up their own made up stories so people in the community believe they had justifiable reasons to get rid of somebody the police ignore that kind of stuff long as they don't have them people around .people end up in prisons where they go through hell .ain't no judge gives a damn what they are sentencing someone too even if they know the person is innocent they don't give a damn that person will get sentenced to a bad situation NOONE gets saved from that I tried and was denied . I'm sure this judge has done plenty of damage he just found another way to make money with it probably people's complaints forced him to make it look as if he is TAKEING a honest better approache that's all it is .

[@lesliewinchester8225]

You want to hold the criminals responsible it’s the mental health people who do not do their job. I became homeless again because I did not go to court because judges will not abide by American Disability Act 1990 Title Ii. Does my mental health team properly advocate to get my home back with an appeal attorney? Of course not. I want to sue the VA for failure to be what I am not and not which is an attorney advocating for the mentally ill in Ada 1990 Title II law. I have Housing back now but landlord breaks law with dog shit/piss in the building. Mental health team will not provide an attorney and I do not want the health hazard where I live.

[@lisabrown6537]

So what about the people who got caught up in a bad system who are suffering in prisons?!! What about them in prison there is no help why can't this help also be available for those the system has already victomized with the crazy cycle of the legal system. Why can't programs be available so that they come out being able to function better MAKEING programs for them would also protect them from all the abuse they go through in prison. Where there is no protection now

[@lisabrown6537]

You WANA SAVE LIVES FOR REALS ? THEN HELP THOSE IN THE PRISONS !!! THEY NEED HELP THE MOST AINT NOT PROGRAM FOR THEM !
