    I’ve suspected this for quite some time. I did 6 months in jail about 10 years ago (haven’t been back) and I noticed how nearly everyone in there had behavioral issues and general mental issues. My bunk mate and myself used to debate this all the time and we always ended by saying that someone needed to look into it. Glad someone cares enough about these forgotten members of our society to actually research it.

      I think it would also be interesting to look at how psychological trauma fits into the picture. I imagine a high percentage of these people have trauma related mental problems as well; luckily, the treatments they are offering are also useful in treating trauma victims. Absolutely fantastic work.

In my experience there was little assistance, with in the frame work of the Institute, for inmate these inmates.

      Good point.. There is studies which linked what's in your plate with your level of stress, agressivity, etc. So if what's in your plate can cause agressivity, and you had a poor childhood without decent food on a regular level, you'll be agressive more often later, and probably more entitled to commit crimes...

    What she is saying about behavior is true for everyone. We all need to know our strengths and our weaknesses. The main reason people have long term problems in life is not being able to recognize what they do not do well. From money to relationships to education (of any kind). One of the best classes I went through was for managers where we learned about ourselves. If you do not know how to manage yourself, you will be rather challenged at managing yourself.

    I am a level one trauma nurse of many years that worked at leading facilities. I was going to be a flight nurse. I give this background to let you know I am familiar with trauma. I am no longer a trauma nurse which was my passion, secondary to consenting to this procedure I was told was safe and effective.
    I am addressing those in rehabilitation medicine. I am asking for help in addressing these brain injury outcomes, now proved around devices in the California courts. The issue is electroshock or ECT. We have sustained repeated brain injuries at the hands of trusted providers. We are now sustaining further damages from providers, in trying to find help, and this is where I turn to your profession.
    Since providers do not want to implicate other providers nor facilities, never mind their risk their medical career if they were to expose this, we as victims of this are greatly suffering. I do not like to use the word victim, but here it applies.
    I am diligent with my own care in trying to recover from this and am far from silent when I cannot access needed resources. I am lucky in this way to be outspoken and to have a background that is well aware of testing needed and what has transpired around this. I am met with the same as my peers often in spite of this.
    We are TBI survivors just as any other survivor, only our mechanism of injury being electrical was delivered by physicians hands. We struggle daily to maintain our lives after not just one head injury, but multiples. We are told we have not been harmed. We are gas lighted when our reality is already skewed by traumatic brain injury. We ask for help, but doctors ignore and minimize us.
    We cannot access testing nor services, because reason for same would have to be acknowledged, and better to ignore than have your name as a provider in the notes exposing this battery at best. My peers are killing themselves because we are discounted in our suffering and actually in many instances treated with overt contempt when trying to find help from doctors and staff.
    Below is an outcome that is mine. I have been now identified with damages to my frontal lobes, cerebellum, and temporal lobes by a TBI specialist secondary to electroshock. It is is the medical records. I ask you in rehabilitation medicine to have these conversations with others so we can address this harm and get help to those that desperately need it. Expose this and shine a light as the public is at great risk. You are familiar with our struggles. We are just like any other TBI patient that needs your help and recognition please.
    There is a test called the VNG that is used to identify concussions and other brain injuries. It is the in office test similar to the on field test the NFL players now get called the I-PASS. Below are damages recorded in notes by TBI specialist to outcomes of electroshock. Perhaps this test may be used to identify TBI in ECT patients, as it is used for TBI in the NFL. These below findings around ECT are resulting from VNG testing. Patients are also showing changes on MRI, EEG, neuro/cog testing, and SPECT.

    Very good presentation. I would respectfully submit that this could go beyond physical trauma. Is it possible the brain can also be traumatized by significant drug use? Also I see a link with the emotional side of trauma. When it is unresolved we tend to get stuck in the "revolving door" - it tends to come back to haunt us. All these things are linked. I believe similarities are also seen with respect to PTSD.

    How is it surprising? Doctors have known for decades that the frontal lobe is mainly responsible for impulse control & other factors associated with our judgement & personality. That means that people who have damaged their brains with drugs & alcohol or those with injuries due to trauma can have behavioral changes. Remember the story of the guy who survived a steel spike through his head but then went from a regular liked guy to being so obnoxious & mean that no one liked him anymore? That's why professional football players & boxers have such a reputation for violence. (In the old days steroids were known to play a part, too, but athletes who injured their heads more often had statistically more problems with violence than those who did sports/activities where they did steroids too but had less head injuries, like weightlifters.)

    What about the wisdom in the film series "Westworld", where it is explained that complex consciousness can only be achieved through "traumatizations"?
    If this is true, then ... any therapy for misdevelopment or underdevelopment consists of burning in new self-reflection scenarios through traumatization, which expand the existing consciousness to the effect that these people are then designed affectively or through behavioristic conditioning automated reactions to the environment submissive.
    In contrast, a global player in the economy who decides every day on the well-being and woe (and salary) of the employee in his conglomerate is almost a super villain. And may it be legal. In contrast to a possibly still childhood traumatized person, to whom the traumatization was done so that the character of this person (out of the powerlessness of this traumatizing situation) continues to live his life submissively.

      You are getting more into the realm of freewill and when does an A.I. have freewill, which I myself would answer never, because no one, not eve humans have freewill in causal universe.
      If you believe in cause and effect you cannot also believe in freewill.

    50 to 80%.... Wow, I'm thrilled by your ability to research and compile honest information... No, you don't get to be taken seriously when you expect me to swallow a 30% discrepancy in your research. I've had two severe head injuries as a child(under 10) and multiple minor head injuries(enough to floor me if not outright knock me unconscious) as an adult, and I've never been in the penal system nor have I committed a prison-able crime... I've sped while driving and I've been really fucking rude to people(not often thankfully). You're using TBI to push prison reform... while I agree that prison reform is Very important I don't agree with obscuring the issue with bad science!!! You'll end up hurting the push for reform by pushing false facts and bad research... people won't take the issue seriously because they can't take your argument seriously! You should be ashamed, not of yourself, but of hurting an important issue with BAD science!!!

      I'm sorry you had two severe head injuries and very grateful that you weren't affected in such a way that lead you to crime. I'd be willing to bet the discrepancy goes down a lot when we look at where the head trauma happens. We know the frontal lobe is greatly responsible for impulse control and doing the right thing and that people with that area disrupted or injured regularly end up doing inappropriate and horrible things. I'm also willing to bet that more and more scientific consensus will agree that head injuries of a specific kind can have a significant causal relationship with criminal behavior in the near future.
