Description
America's mental health crisis has reached a breaking point. The country's jails and prisons have become warehouses for people with mental illnesses, where inmates are denied proper treatment and punished in ways that exacerbate their conditions. Journalist Alisa Roth takes an intimate look at the inner workings of the criminal justice system, revealing the hidden forces behind this crisis and proposing a more humane approach.
