The prisons in America are the biggest mental hospitals in the country. It's really important that we continue to everyone struggling the help that they need.
In the UK I have been put in a jail cell three times when manic for a public order offence when I had commited no crime.......they must have known I was ill because I had to see the mental health crisis team in the morning before I could leave. It was terrifying.....I wasn't charged with anything....well done police and the mental health system..not.
Loved watching this. Was made a few years ago but still holds true. I have worked in several areas where I have worked with the incarcerated and mentally ill. Jails and prisons are not the answer. I applaud you for furthering your career to help people.
If anyone reads this, AND wants to help people in the system for mental health issues, educate about cognitive dissonance and how to use dialectical thinking to combat it.
And that she is clearly cognativly dissonant. She says mental health being criminalized is a problem. Then she states the solution is to establish more outlets to expose mental health patients to the criminal "justice" system. That is cognitive dissonance ... 1+2=4. Read hegel . I see that math problem and know it's wrong. But if I was never taught addition, I'd have no way of proving it wrong. how do I do so? Dialectical thinking : thesis- antithesis= synthesis. Thesis : mental health is not a crime. Antithesis: solve it by adding another part of the criminal justice system to deal with mental health issues. $ynthe$i$: she is cognativly dissonant. _(unfortunatly prob'ly just a liar though)
Severe mental illnesses can lead to crime, so treating the mental illness would reduce crime.
Thank you, you helped voice my concern. Please stay safe in California.
Beautiful Judge - Great spirit. This is how it should be not prison lobbies to house people.
You're right, they should be all over evidence-based practice. But unfortunately, the people in power do not want former prisoners to go on and succeed. They want them to keep failing until death. We could be gaining people, as reformed, better citizens, rather than losing people. But they don't care about all that.

I totally agree and more. People in power are cruel psychopaths. They have put those people in prisons on purpose to make money from them. Prisons are ponzi schemes just like the federal reserve cartel.
It is communism you are writing about. It is taking us over.
This really inspired me. I think I’ll do one of my masters theses on this sort of topic for my country.
too bad this does not get one million likes and shares
👍 YUP yet another symptom of the disease that has PRETTY much always plauged the system and continues too do so in spit and despit the OVERWHELMING evidence against said aproch
I know! So few here.
Wise words !!
this is awesome!!!
Great content!
This is the first step to ending mass incarceration in America. We must speak up to Judges and Police Chiefs, Mayor's, City Council, County Commissioners, Congressional Representatives and Senators. This is a solid solution, we can do it starting at the local level.
Moral corruptions....
Sighs
i guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me
Yes… failed. Texas throws them in prison. They come out worse. The numbers of re offense speak for themselves. My son lives with schizophrenia. He hurt someone during a psychotic episode and has been held in isolation for over 5 months in the county jail. His condition has not improved but deteriorated. He refuses medication, refuses to see me. He is not mentally able to advocate for himself and was unable to be tested for competency. He is waiting for inpatient treatment?? No one has said how long this could take. When the psychotic episode started crisis lines were called, police were called, charges were even pressed and the DA dropped them. Four days before the incident my ex-husband begged a judge to help before something happened. He had become violent. No one would help.
Is it against the law to be a psychopath? I have a diagnosis. It’s not a psychopath. I feel that having a mental illness is dealing with arrogant people who have gone to private schools up to tenth grade and have graduated from a public high school. Then their parents pay for their college and give them cars. I’m the opposite of a spoiled brat. I worked for thirty years. A woman did defamation of my reputation. She exaggerated about me. She wrote down that she takes a threat seriously. She knows that I am mentally ill because she mentioned mental illness in her writing. She’s a liar. I guess that she felt that she can get away with this. She also made an invalid opinion about me being agitated. My Mom told me that she’s worried that I will end up in jail. My sister texted me that a restraining order and a history of mental illness doesn’t look good. I blocked her. I haven’t talked in n my phone to her for several months. I feel like I’m getting control of my life. I’ve been losing sleep, but I have been doing well at work. I guess that she thinks that I am a psychopath. I guess that she learned about mental health is fear
Have a good day.
I JUST READ F. I"M hoping i will absolutely agree with you, or maybe we should give treatment to people who don't know how to think properly might help in crime control
It is easier to enjoy being good " then other.
should we not perhaps work on decrimalizing before criminalizing mental health.?
Yes Governor Chris Christie occasionally kicks some ass. When that one Hurricane nailed his state and The Obama Administration responded so well, Chris Christie complimented President Obama.
Mental health is not a crime if it was i"m sure we wouldn't do it.
From my knowlege of mental health you are criminalised before you decriminalised sounds like the law.?
Schizophrenia is not a crime 😎
I agree in principle with her premise, and I applaud her story. However, mental illness is NOT - I repeat NOT - to be treated with drugs. Drugs are just as bad as incarceration. She is on the right track when she comes from a place of respect, and help. These unfortunate human beings need to be respected, listened to, and allowed to experience recalling their past incidents of pain and unconsciousness which have been unduly influencing their lives. That is all that is needed.
the thing about treatment is that your psychiatrist works for you. If it's not working, ask for different treatment or a different psychiatrist. I'm sorry to hear about your stories and hope you're better now.
Not everyone who has experienced a traumatic event wants to revisit it, for many people drugs are in the short term the simplest choice.
I understand if you took medication and it was a horrible experience. In my case my main side effect is constant fatigue which is manageable, and my medication stopped my extremely desteuctive mental disorder.
Action gives a reaction.
This is the only thing relevant here, i say this. Somone attacks me I will defend my self, even if I have to KILL them, I do not care at all of they have a bad day, their parents didn't hug them enough or what ever else they use for an excuse , it is the ACTION and the the ACTION alone, if the ACTION is criminal then it is crimnal no matter if mommy higged you less than normal growing up.
ANYONE CARING ABOUT THE WHY WHEN SHOT IN THE FACE IS DEAD; ANYONE NOT CAREING ABOUT WHY SHOOTS THE ATTACKER DEAD
Her thesis is : it is wrong for mental health to be criminalized. Her antithesis is: combat this by creating another branch of the criminal justice system that deals with mental health . my synthesis: she either lies to increase the amount of innocent people having their lives ruined (I try not jump to conclusions cuz it makes the facts not credible, but two scream at me) or she suffers from severe cognitive dissonance...
Research tells me that the federal reserve cartel is a part of the communist agenda to cause families to fall apart. They and the medical cartel label people with symptoms which THEY cause. These symptoms are normal for people being subjected to torture. This torture is being caused by this underground communist agenda to end us. These communists tell people they belong in prisons and wars when these are money makers for the communists. The fed reserve cartel was formed on purpose to take money from everyone in as many ways as possible.
The federal reserve cartel is illegal, just as illegal as covid. They are both ponzi schemes. They are both created by super sadistic people. Proven from all the articles and books I have read. And videos, too.
Full of bitter nurses...
So much bs....
So what happened to the elderly dude?
They need upgrades?
Its actually not. If you use Acitivity Based Costing it's actually more expensive not criminalizing it.
