Jails Are Not Mental Hospitals
NO PLACE FOR THE MENTALLY ILL
On Episode 71 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Lara confronts one of the most difficult questions facing our justice system today.
What do you do with violent individuals who are mentally ill?
If they commit a crime, they’re charged and sent to prison but prisons aren’t equipped to treat serious mental illness. If they’re released, communities may be put at risk. And if they end up on the streets, the cycle of homelessness, suffering, and violence often continues.
Lara discusses how the system has failed on every level from underfunded mental health care to overcrowded prisons forced to manage people they were never designed to help.
Even those inside the system admit the truth: there are no easy answers.
It’s a broken system caught between compassion and public safety and too often, both are lost.
