You won't know if the system is broken until it affects you.

I notice this is in the Biker section. Is your friend's husband a biker? What is this "innocent" man accused of doing?

I saw this on a segment of 60 Minutes last night. They said there that a big part of the problem is that many psychiatric hospitals are closing in order to "mainstream" the patients, leaving "the system" with no alternative. This is not an excuse, just a statement of what they are up against.

Sad story though...because I am sure this is not only happening to inmates with mental health issues.

And then they have the nerve to wonder why there are so many mentally ill people among the homeless.

I heard about what goes on in the men's prisons. IT's awful.
