#BryanStevenson @eji_org is a defense attorney and American hero. This excerpt doesn't do the book justice but it details his incredible life's work defending those who have been unfairly punished (often on death row and facing life in prison without parole) and cannot afford adequate legal council. "Aggressive and violent treatment of protocols at some facilities generated horror stories that fueled a new campaign, this time to get people out of institutionalized mental health settings...
By the 1990s, several states had a deinstitutionalized rate of over 95 percent, meaning that for every hundred patients who had been residents in state hospitals before deinstitutionalization programs, fewer than five were residents when the study was conducted in the 1990s. In 1955, there was one psychiatric bed for every three hundred Americans; fifty years later, it was one bed for every three thousand. ...deinstitutionalization intersected with the spread of mass imprisonment policies- expanding criminal statutes and harsh sentencing- to disastrous effect. The "free world" became perilous for deinstitutionalized poor people suffering from mental disabilities. The inability of many disabled, low-income people to receive treatment or necessary medication increased their likelihood of a police encounter that would result in jail or prison time. Jail and prison became the state's strategy for dealing with a health crisis created by drug use and dependency. A flood of mentally ill people headed to prison for minor offenses and drug crimes or simply for behaviors that communities were unwilling to tolerate.
Today, over 50 percent of prison and jail inmates in the United States have a diagnosed mental illness, a rate nearly five times greater than that of the general adult population. Nearly one in five prison and jail inmates has a serious mental illness. In fact, there are more than three times the number of seriously mentally ill individuals in jail or prison than in hospitals; in some states that number is ten times. And prison is a terrible place for someone with mental illness or a neurological disorder that prison guards are not trained to understand."
