Sadly this isnt just mental health being denied but basic human health concerns are also not being met. The jail in my town has had numerous deaths & people being denied medical care. We are innocent until proven guilty & most folks in jail are awaiting trials & court dates but either way, just because you go to jail or not does NOT mean you lose humanity & those that enforce that mentality shouldnt be holding positions where they can abuse their authority ~
It's not just jails and prison it is overall methodology and ideology. Seniors are also being told their problems are symptoms of old age wh, even if one was, doesn't mean it shouldn't be treated and relieved. Even if they have the insurance and cash for treatment it is still withheld. A real tragedy is the older ppl who are alone or have no ppl who will help them. They are simply ignored. If they complain, try to hire lawyers, publish articles, they are ganged up on and labeled senile. It works, although anyone w a brain should know a senile person could hardly organize these things. Y'all are not alone. Plenty of innocent Americans are suffering the same fates, including low income and senior housing that are very dangerous, filthy, and no longer cheap.
Thank you again, Amy, and Team Democracy Now for this discussion on our privatization of our prisons during the Clinton Administration . The mentally ill, black, brown, but also include whites, both men and women, prisons. In Alabama, strikes were going on in our prisons not so very long ago. America, learn about the causes and why. Thank you again.❤️
Even if you tell them that you need to take medication, they will not let your friends or family bring your prescription medications until you pay the bail bondsman....it's all about who has more money....not about the people at all
After my mother became a jailer, they put a teenage routie in the crazy cell with another mentally challenged inmate to cool down. Instead the other inmate stuffed a sock in the kids mouth and it killed him. My mother had nothing to do with putting him in that cell, she wasn't there.
They do have some separation. The first couple days they put you in an area where they watch you to see what you behavior is like. After that they put you in general population. Mainly they want to see if you’re going to cause trouble. It’s different in every area.
That's exactly how it works. Pre trial detention is Jail . Everyone in jail is innocent until proven guilty. If they're found guilty and sentenced to serve time they are transferred to a prison. That's the difference between jail and prison. Jail is much worse because you have no activities, school,work and less fresh air time. So essentially the guilty live in better conditions than the people who have not been convicted of a crime but are only suspects.
This seems to be a microcosm of what is going on in the general population. Also under-reported: Huge increase in all cause mortality (not Covid related) world wide. Especially in highly 'medicated' populations. Life Insurance data shows huge payouts for deaths among the working adult population. Also huge increase in disability among the 'medicated'.
i dont see any correlation in these claims other than the disability in medicated patients as those two things follow reason if you are disabled you are likely to take medications for it and also must be in medical care even to be granted the assumption of being disabled. the rest can easily fit better into the idea that we have changed our environment in such a way as to reduce our ability to survive in it. i wiil add that as we increase our overall population our numbers of deaths will also increase not to mention the aging population of persons born during the greatest population boom in history are now approaching the end-of-life phase of their time here so it will course rise as they age and expire. your insurance claim is also a bit questionable as any persons insurable value at time of death would include the amount of income they may have earned if they had lived which would be greater if they are working age.
You make a good point. People argue in political forums about the AVAILABILITY and cost of health insurance and health care, but I'm old enough to recall when the QUALITY of healthcare was VERY different from now. It's not profitable to provide high quality healthcare.
Florida jails and prisons are a horror story and have been for decades. The prisons are also businesses, furniture, telemarketing etc. Florida passed a law over a decade ago that prevents any past or present inmates from suing for injuries incurred during incarceration due to the facilities, or over zealous or hate filled guards, etc.

Judicial system is a broken and corrupted. There won’t be any type of justice with a broken and corrupted judicial system. Activist judges work for corporate liberals and the dollar is always the bottom line. You simply cannot fix stupid , welfare states collapse first.
I would first blame the high criminal rate of people CONVICTED of the crimes before going after the prison system. Which could use changes, yes, but certainly not the biggest problem.
Most prisoners are preconviction, innocent until proven guilty but denied basic due process. Many others are railroaded as known innocent but maliciously prosecuted on false charges

In 2022 in New City jails '19 people died in city custody or shortly after being released.' Also this year, the notorious Rikers Island jails were 'linked to several suicides'. In Dekalb, Georgia 'two people died from hanging in less than 24-hours.' In Houston, Texas 'the Harris County jail has seen a record 27 deaths this year.' (00:20) -- The director of the Texas Jail Project explains, 'Jails are places where people are held pre-trial, that means they've not been convicted, they are legally innocent. It's become a death sentence for alot of folks in Texas county jails. As of yesterday we had 161 custody deaths in Texas county jails, that's about 240 jails spread across 254 counties... (02:06) [T]he reason for that is severe overcrowding. And the overcrowding is being determined by a really small group of prosecutors and local judges who handle felony cases, which is in stark contrast to reforms enacted by misdemeanor judges that have dramatically reduced incarceration and reduced crime and improved public safety.' (02:50) But the officials responsible for felonies have rejected overwhelming evidence to expand pretrial releases and they've pursued policies of greater pretrial detention, which is why we are seeing the system collapsing under its own weight.' (03:10)
Thankyou Amy. The state of US jails is key info...when Lawyers stand in Courts elsewhere (eg: UK - US vs Assange Extradition Hearing) & describe them "safe" ..... despite very concerning facts, as touched on here.
Most prisoners have committed petty offenses compared to US politicians most of which should be serving time in places like Rykers as well as receiving death sentences for grievous crimes against humanity.
I ve always been amazed this around 13 percent of population incarcerated and the largest percentage not . Logically this is a mathematical improbability.Not unless a population is targeted.
Why is it that the USA has more people per capita in prison than any other country on the planet? 629 per 100,000 people in prison. Total number of inmates over 2 million. So much for the land of the free. Fun facts, the incarceration rate in Mexico is 169 and in Canada its 104 per 100,000 people. Most European countries are less than 100, Germany is 70, almost a tenth of the USA.
@@shawnchurch316 They are over represented in the low income bracket as well, and that is where most petty crime and assaults occur. Most common crime is drug related, with prison time for possession in a lot of states which is crazy. In Europe, lead by the Netherlands and Portugal, the trend is possession of drugs is not a criminal offence but a medical issue that needs treatment.
@@mirandahotspring4019 There is vastly more poor white people in the United States yet the crime rate does not reflect that so it's not a poverty issue.

Lake County Jail in Ohio needs to be checked out!!..they treat people like animals! Mental Health neglect! Also, “Cuyahoga County Jail in Ohio” {Downtown Cleveland}
All non violent prisoners should be released and made to work to recompensate victims- education- loss of freedom of movement by tag. All the massive costs of running prisons should be put into communities with high crime rates to provide meaningful work and community support.

@@hoosierbaddy3052 By your post you see yourself as apart or separate from the rabble? I ask because how a society treats it's prison population for instance is a mirror to the health of that society. There are people who feel they'll avoid any upheaval and they may but happenstance has a way of involving people in things they thought they could avoid. When police target minorities to incarcerate them in private prisons for profits there's something very wrong with the country. Once again dollar signs trump humanity. My belief is, it's wrong to criminalize someone for profit because once you justify that you'll do it over and over again until you have no soul left.
People who are not criminals can’t get mental health help. Be realistic. We don’t have enough professionals to help the number of people who need help. They don’t pay them enough.
They are treated inhuman. My grandson was given conv pilled that made him bleed, also he was tested negative, but put in with conv people so he could get it again. This is because of the prosecutors enforcing abuse on him in Missouri. This is a war against blacks, many of them being in there for petty crimes and cannot make bail. Trump started this when he met with prosecutors in Missouri. My grandson spent time in jail even those he had bailed that we received the back for it. This is slavery and lynchings of blacks again.
The horrible treatment is across the board for every prisoner but it can be skewed as racial, since blacks represent the vast majority of incarcerated criminals?

This what the main stream media should be talking about on CNN, Fox News, MNBC!!!! That a lot of people dying in a year!!! 27? Little over 2 a month!!! WOW 😵
Seniors on Medicare are also dying bc they are not being given treatments. Most problems are dismissed as a part of old age. It's not true. Even if someone has an "old age" problem like a skin disorder, why is it not treated if it would relieve symptom. Fungal infections are common among older ppl but treatment is considered not very effective or has a slow cure of months. Why not treat it if a person is not critically Ill and probably will live more than several months? These ppl aren't in jail but living independent lives. It is no wonder medical treatments are not being given in jail when they are not given in the general population.
all gov around the world should have an amnesty for minor crimes and those who have a yr or less left on their sentence , its a business in the USA and those with drug dependances should not go to jail but treatment facilities, we have the same problem in Italy as far as addicts, also the food in jail is so bad that is part of diseases like nervous system breakdown, food is very important, a lot of kids have bulimia and lactose intollerances also celiakism,and different allergies and they all have to eat thesame crap,and the govpays enough money for much better food ,immagine the mountains of money they take from drug dealers that alone can serve lobster and champagne for all inmates, this is a really bad condition

It happens because we would rather take care of other countries and give them tons of money than taking care of our own. It's embarrassing that other countries that were poor before, now are rich and can take care of their own people. Also stop accepting too much asylums. If we cannot afford them then be honest and say so. Or just fenced the border as high as we can build. Just accept the number of people that we can afford to help, not thousands. People that are criminals from other countries should not be accepted. Build the wall in the border. Should have a surveillance by the river.People from Central or South of the border aren't Americans. They're riding their boat on the river back and forth, trying to check where they can let go the people who paid the owner of the boat to take them not far from the border of U.S.and Mexico.

They're using MK ULTRA nightmares when prisoners are asleep and they fight for their lives. If they survive the nights sleep they wake up unknowingly why they're so tired. They work all day and unknowingly fight for their lives in their sleep. The MK ULTRA is also used to pit inmates against each other. When they sleep they are thrown into "The Game Nobody Knows". I've survived it . I'm The Black Neo. They even tried me at sleep at home. Get rid of your bed with metal springs! Get a foam mattress! Holla.
Thanks. You are right. This is becoming rampant among the general population worldwide. We have human rights groups, petitions, international lawyers and class action lawsuits. It is very slow going and it lasts for life so I wouldn't put much hope into getting it stopped unless you know a way to do it. Like prisoners who have little resources, civilian targets are kept from jobs, havin their money and savings stolen, having all their devices hacked, having their reputations smeared and ruined, having food poisoned, goods destroyed, and constant surveillance, harassment and non lethal torture. Not much left w wh to fight but spirit and determination, wh doesnt pay the bills.
Oh!....I almost forgot my my POINT. I awoke suddenly on purpose to escape from an attack and I actually physically saw the whole environment of that MK Ultra nightmare reconfigure itself from 3D into a block screen protruding from my eyes and it sucked straight into my eyes when I was awake in bed.

Un officials jail LOL the BRITISH Marshall project a FOREIGN FROM INDIA LOL UNICOR--a federal government-owned corporation established by the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration in 1934 otherwise known as "Federal Prison Industries." UNICOR maintains factories in every Federal Prison in the country. Nationwide sales of "PRISON PRODUCED PRODUCTS" in year 2000 was 8.9 billion dollars. Some products produced are; office furniture, high tech military cable and wiring systems, mattress and box springs, camouflage military uniforms, sheets, towels, pillow cases, brooms, mops, et cetera. UNICOR has now partnered with Spire, an American solar company, to manufacture photovoltaic modules and systems. The brainwashing is strong here with the foreign Hindus go away. The so-called judge will sometimes not allow all of the facts to be heard or the so-called law examined because of his bias or is following orders of the corporate so-called government who may even want to have the case sealed from the public. If one does not conform to the judge's wishes, the judge, without proper cause, will send the non-conformist to a psychiatric ward for evaluation (intimidation) and sometimes left there to be drugged and not released until one is willing to conform to the judge's bias.
My uncle and my sister husband both died in jail by so-called hanging themselves neither of them were suicidal . The guards are behind a lot of these situations.
Thank you for this thought-provoking report. I will refrain from personal comment at this time on the issues related to pre-trial detention for those accused of felony charges in Texas, but I will assert that the downsizing (viz. 'de-institutionalization') of medium-to-long term length-of-stay (LOS) inpatient state psychiatric hospitalization has resulted in the twin mass societal evils of feral homelessness & trans-institutionalization (from supportive--if imperfect--milieu of psychiatric & forensic psychiatric hospitals) to the anomie & entropy of the criminal justice system (e.g. incarceration). The renowned medical author & neurologist, the late Dr. Oliver Sacks (in a NYT Op-Ed article, mid 1990s) percipiently diagnosed the medical stupidity & public health futility of de-institutionalization & proffered, instead, the aspirational goal of strengthening & streamlining inpatient psychiatric services by (as I paraphrase by memory) eliminating [excessive] administrative & regulatory functions which were the real drains on services.
The real problem with bail reform are judges who refuse to differentiate between those likely to pose a genuine threat to anyone and those who do not. There are worlds of difference between all the people who have to contend with the criminal justice system, and not recognizing this does everyone a disservice. I am a victim of robbery and assault. I do and will continue to support bail reform for those without a continued history of violent crime. We've had too many wrongful convictions due to court appointed attorneys rushing cases thru court - due to being under pressure from the judges who appoint them & determine their salaries. This is inadequate legal representation due to lack of resources - too many wrongful convictions of poor people. Working classers who are our neighbors, co-workers, fellow church goers, classmates - and most of all friends or even family members. Everyone thinks it can't happen to them or theirs, so why should they care. WRONG!! This has happened to too many people who never deserved any of it. Bonding out helps innocent people take care of their families while preparing for court, and is only fair - it's still "innocent until proven guilty" as far as I know. However, allowing violent repeat offenders to bond out flies in direct opposition to common sense. The thug who robbed me (and others) last year has been incarcerated roughly half his life due to violent felonies against women. Every time he's let out he's in trouble again within a year or two of being released. Nevertheless, he was allowed to bond out again, despite his previous 3 or 4 violent felonies (all against women), despite his known affiliation to a violent gang, despite stating he has no next of kin - yet is staying with family, despite stating that he's employed but has no income, etc. Right now he's in violation of the terms of his bond, so it's been revoked - although he is still at large. That's bad, but the assault which took place 5 years ago was worse. The offender is a racist with a much longer (and worse) rap sheet of violent felonies against both women and children. He was convicted of forcing himself on someone younger than 14 years old (she was 9 - I snooped) yet repeatedly released, babied, allowed special treatment, etc. He was allowed to plea bargain 3 horrific felonies down to the extent that he only served 129 days total instead of the usual 20 years or so for each crime. He assaulted me when he put his hands on me in front of my spouse, who is a different ethnicity than I am, and was partially disabled at the time. The racist who assaulted me is the same color I am. He assaulted someone else on the day we were supposed to go to court - and was allowed to hide behind the mental illness defense to avoid consequences on these latest crimes. He's essentially lived his entire life in some kind of extended diaper, and since he's currently in his late 60's I don't think he'll grow up or become a man at this point in his life. So there will be more incidents where he'll commit crimes and be let off the hook; it's been that way his entire pathetic life, why change now? These crimes are enabled by those too corrupt or lazy to perform their jobs, and they need to be replaced before more people get hurt - or worse.
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Prison is a place where the watchers are just as corrupt as those they watch. The low IQ of prisoners is matched by the low IQ of the watchers. Under Democrat governor Ann Richards, Texas tried to build itself out of crime. Over one hundred new prisons were constructed in the 70's and early 80's. Many of them were opened and then quickly closed because Richard's did not tell the citizens that then it would cost over one billion dollars annually to keep said prisons open. Texas prisoners used to run the prisons. Imagine the criminals watching over the criminals. If you don't want to find yourself in jail and/or prison, walk the straight and narrow. Incarceration is not easy and not worth it for any reason.

They need to bring back all the State supported mental institutions. They did away with them because they was empty, it’s obvious that they are needed.
The point is that these people are there in the custody of the US government, on the street people are not. And since they're talking about jails this means that they're held there pre-trial. They aren't even convicted of anything yet.
There aew not enough psychologists in the world to help rehabiliate criminals and innocence in jail. Usa jail is full of persons with mental issues. The system jails these, instead of fixing the root pf the provlem, that causes persons to commit crime. Educators and medical practitioners could help change behaviour thst leads to crime. People are dying, due to mental distress, but there are no services to prevent suicide in place and is therapy ever prescribed to those in jail?
This appeal is not particularly persuasive to me; nevertheless it will be to a great many people. I think the old saying that charity begins at home is a factor. There are far too many who did not feel their homes were places of charity and consequently fall short of offering it to inmates on the assertion that their condition is a scandal. I don't think it is particularly helpful to cycle through the system thinking it not a bad way to guarantee three squares and a cot; no need for torture either, deprivation of freedom is sufficient for an appropriate duration, or to reasonably protect the public. All persons and institutions fall short of the glory of God. Intentions are good, but are we missing the harm that will go with it? Always a strong urge to do well.

It's not just jails and prison it is overall methodology and ideology.

They do have some separation. The first couple days they put you in an area where they watch you to see what you behavior is like. After that they put you in general population. Mainly they want to see if you’re going to cause trouble. It’s different in every area.
@@NoahSpurrier Not the idea.
San Bernardino county does do that.
That's exactly how it works. Pre trial detention is Jail . Everyone in jail is innocent until proven guilty. If they're found guilty and sentenced to serve time they are transferred to a prison. That's the difference between jail and prison.
Jail is much worse because you have no activities, school,work and less fresh air time.
So essentially the guilty live in better conditions than the people who have not been convicted of a crime but are only suspects.
This seems to be a microcosm of what is going on in the general population. Also under-reported: Huge increase in all cause mortality (not Covid related) world wide. Especially in highly 'medicated' populations. Life Insurance data shows huge payouts for deaths among the working adult population. Also huge increase in disability among the 'medicated'.
This is devastating and appalling.
America definitely needs to reform all jails, prisons and the bail system and fair judiciary process.
WOW!!! Please tell us more. 🙏
i dont see any correlation in these claims other than the disability in medicated patients as those two things follow reason if you are disabled you are likely to take medications for it and also must be in medical care even to be granted the assumption of being disabled. the rest can easily fit better into the idea that we have changed our environment in such a way as to reduce our ability to survive in it. i wiil add that as we increase our overall population our numbers of deaths will also increase not to mention the aging population of persons born during the greatest population boom in history are now approaching the end-of-life phase of their time here so it will course rise as they age and expire. your insurance claim is also a bit questionable as any persons insurable value at time of death would include the amount of income they may have earned if they had lived which would be greater if they are working age.
You make a good point. People argue in political forums about the AVAILABILITY and cost of health insurance and health care, but I'm old enough to recall when the QUALITY of healthcare was VERY different from now. It's not profitable to provide high quality healthcare.
Florida jails and prisons are a horror story and have been for decades. The prisons are also businesses, furniture, telemarketing etc. Florida passed a law over a decade ago that prevents any past or present inmates from suing for injuries incurred during incarceration due to the facilities, or over zealous or hate filled guards, etc.
You had me at "Florida"
It's prison, if you don't want to be there don't commit the crime.

Our so-called "justice" system is an absolute NATIONAL DISGRACE
Judicial system is a broken and corrupted. There won’t be any type of justice with a broken and corrupted judicial system. Activist judges work for corporate liberals and the dollar is always the bottom line. You simply cannot fix stupid , welfare states collapse first.
I would first blame the high criminal rate of people CONVICTED of the crimes before going after the prison system. Which could use changes, yes, but certainly not the biggest problem.
Most prisoners are preconviction, innocent until proven guilty but denied basic due process. Many others are railroaded as known innocent but maliciously prosecuted on false charges

In 2022 in New City jails '19 people died in city custody or shortly after being released.' Also this year, the notorious Rikers Island jails were 'linked to several suicides'. In Dekalb, Georgia 'two people died from hanging in less than 24-hours.' In Houston, Texas 'the Harris County jail has seen a record 27 deaths this year.' (00:20) -- The director of the Texas Jail Project explains, 'Jails are places where people are held pre-trial, that means they've not been convicted, they are legally innocent. It's become a death sentence for alot of folks in Texas county jails. As of yesterday we had 161 custody deaths in Texas county jails, that's about 240 jails spread across 254 counties... (02:06) [T]he reason for that is severe overcrowding. And the overcrowding is being determined by a really small group of prosecutors and local judges who handle felony cases, which is in stark contrast to reforms enacted by misdemeanor judges that have dramatically reduced incarceration and reduced crime and improved public safety.' (02:50) But the officials responsible for felonies have rejected overwhelming evidence to expand pretrial releases and they've pursued policies of greater pretrial detention, which is why we are seeing the system collapsing under its own weight.' (03:10)
I work in the Harris County Jail system doing drugs and alcohol, and mental health treatment. This is true.
Thankyou Amy. The state of US jails is key info...when Lawyers stand in Courts elsewhere (eg: UK - US vs Assange Extradition Hearing) & describe them "safe" ..... despite very concerning facts, as touched on here.
Are the correctional facilities discussed here privatized for-profit institutions?
Where are the human rights organizations? The prisons are privately owned, a cash milling industry and the prisoners are the cash cows.
your guest is very caring, and caring about important issues, and very beautiful.
Most prisoners have committed petty offenses compared to US politicians most of which should be serving time in places like Rykers as well as receiving death sentences for grievous crimes against humanity.
Happy New Year to you Amy, & your staff. Thank you for keeping us all updated on the world. 🎄✨☃️🌺❄️🎉
I ve always been amazed this around 13 percent of population incarcerated and the largest percentage not . Logically this is a mathematical improbability.Not unless a population is targeted.
Why is it that the USA has more people per capita in prison than any other country on the planet? 629 per 100,000 people in prison. Total number of inmates over 2 million. So much for the land of the free.
Fun facts, the incarceration rate in Mexico is 169 and in Canada its 104 per 100,000 people. Most European countries are less than 100, Germany is 70, almost a tenth of the USA.
Why do African Americans commit over half of all murders and violent crimes?
Do you have a source that can be checked to support that?
@@mirandahotspring4019 FBI UCR African Americans are over represented in every category of crime except for 2. Per capita the rate is 5:1.
@@shawnchurch316 They are over represented in the low income bracket as well, and that is where most petty crime and assaults occur. Most common crime is drug related, with prison time for possession in a lot of states which is crazy. In Europe, lead by the Netherlands and Portugal, the trend is possession of drugs is not a criminal offence but a medical issue that needs treatment.
@@mirandahotspring4019 There is vastly more poor white people in the United States yet the crime rate does not reflect that so it's not a poverty issue.
There's alot of non violent affenders also I was 22 years old got ten years as a first time drug affender and a small amount at that ! They really need to give more job training schooling better role models
As for me now I'm 43 and doing super good own my own company couldn't be doing any better
Lake County Jail in Ohio needs to be checked out!!..they treat people like animals! Mental Health neglect! Also, “Cuyahoga County Jail in Ohio” {Downtown Cleveland}
At what point will you recognize that this is a feature
All non violent prisoners should be released and made to work to recompensate victims- education- loss of freedom of movement by tag. All the massive costs of running prisons should be put into communities with high crime rates to provide meaningful work and community support.
I don't think that has a chance. We are a long way from the 60s and today's youth are not the peace and love generation. Nowhere near it.

@Eon Slemp I bit extreme but something different sure has to be done.
@@hoosierbaddy3052 By your post you see yourself as apart or separate from the rabble? I ask because how a society treats it's prison population for instance is a mirror to the health of that society. There are people who feel they'll avoid any upheaval and they may but happenstance has a way of involving people in things they thought they could avoid. When police target minorities to incarcerate them in private prisons for profits there's something very wrong with the country. Once again dollar signs trump humanity. My belief is, it's wrong to criminalize someone for profit because once you justify that you'll do it over and over again until you have no soul left.
People who are not criminals can’t get mental health help. Be realistic. We don’t have enough professionals to help the number of people who need help. They don’t pay them enough.
People don't voluntarily seek help just like addicts don't seek rehab.
Sadly the focus is PROFIT over true rehabilitation.
They are treated inhuman. My grandson was given conv pilled that made him bleed, also he was tested negative, but put in with conv people so he could get it again. This is because of the prosecutors enforcing abuse on him in Missouri. This is a war against blacks, many of them being in there for petty crimes and cannot make bail. Trump started this when he met with prosecutors in Missouri. My grandson spent time in jail even those he had bailed that we received the back for it. This is slavery and lynchings of blacks again.
The horrible treatment is across the board for every prisoner but it can be skewed as racial, since blacks represent the vast majority of incarcerated criminals?
Absolutely terrible!

This what the main stream media should be talking about on CNN, Fox News, MNBC!!!! That a lot of people dying in a year!!! 27? Little over 2 a month!!! WOW 😵
Seniors on Medicare are also dying bc they are not being given treatments. Most problems are dismissed as a part of old age. It's not true. Even if someone has an "old age" problem like a skin disorder, why is it not treated if it would relieve symptom. Fungal infections are common among older ppl but treatment is considered not very effective or has a slow cure of months. Why not treat it if a person is not critically Ill and probably will live more than several months?
These ppl aren't in jail but living independent lives. It is no wonder medical treatments are not being given in jail when they are not given in the general population.

all gov around the world should have an amnesty for minor crimes and those who have a yr or less left on their sentence , its a business in the USA and those with drug dependances should not go to jail but treatment facilities, we have the same problem in Italy as far as addicts, also the food in jail is so bad that is part of diseases like nervous system breakdown, food is very important, a lot of kids have bulimia and lactose intollerances also celiakism,and different allergies and they all have to eat thesame crap,and the govpays enough money for much better food ,immagine the mountains of money they take from drug dealers that alone can serve lobster and champagne for all inmates, this is a really bad condition

Just that easy.
It happens because we would rather take care of other countries and give them tons of money than taking care of our own.
It's embarrassing that other countries that were poor before, now are rich and can take care of their own people. Also stop accepting too much asylums. If we cannot afford them then be honest and say so.
Or just fenced the border as high as we can build. Just accept the number of people that we can afford to help, not thousands. People that are criminals from other countries should not be accepted. Build the wall in the border. Should have a surveillance by the river.People from Central or South of the border aren't Americans. They're riding their boat on the river back and forth, trying to check where they can let go the people who paid the owner of the boat to take them not far from the border of U.S.and Mexico.

They're using MK ULTRA nightmares when prisoners are asleep and they fight for their lives. If they survive the nights sleep they wake up unknowingly why they're so tired. They work all day and unknowingly fight for their lives in their sleep. The MK ULTRA is also used to pit inmates against each other. When they sleep they are thrown into "The Game Nobody Knows". I've survived it . I'm The Black Neo. They even tried me at sleep at home. Get rid of your bed with metal springs! Get a foam mattress! Holla.
Thanks. You are right. This is becoming rampant among the general population worldwide. We have human rights groups, petitions, international lawyers and class action lawsuits. It is very slow going and it lasts for life so I wouldn't put much hope into getting it stopped unless you know a way to do it. Like prisoners who have little resources, civilian targets are kept from jobs, havin their money and savings stolen, having all their devices hacked, having their reputations smeared and ruined, having food poisoned, goods destroyed, and constant surveillance, harassment and non lethal torture. Not much left w wh to fight but spirit and determination, wh doesnt pay the bills.
You're telling the TRUTH!
Oh!....I almost forgot my my POINT. I awoke suddenly on purpose to escape from an attack and I actually physically saw the whole environment of that MK Ultra nightmare reconfigure itself from 3D into a block screen protruding from my eyes and it sucked straight into my eyes when I was awake in bed.

If one does not conform to the judge's wishes, the judge, without proper cause, will send the non-conformist to a psychiatric ward for evaluation (intimidation) and sometimes left there to be drugged and not released until one is willing to conform to the judge's bias.

Good report!
Thank you for this thought-provoking report. I will refrain from personal comment at this time on the issues related to pre-trial detention for those accused of felony charges in Texas, but I will assert that the downsizing (viz. 'de-institutionalization') of medium-to-long term length-of-stay (LOS) inpatient state psychiatric hospitalization has resulted in the twin mass societal evils of feral homelessness & trans-institutionalization (from supportive--if imperfect--milieu of psychiatric & forensic psychiatric hospitals) to the anomie & entropy of the criminal justice system (e.g. incarceration). The renowned medical author & neurologist, the late Dr. Oliver Sacks (in a NYT Op-Ed article, mid 1990s) percipiently diagnosed the medical stupidity & public health futility of de-institutionalization & proffered, instead, the aspirational goal of strengthening & streamlining inpatient psychiatric services by (as I paraphrase by memory) eliminating [excessive] administrative & regulatory functions which were the real drains on services.
McAfee and Epstein
The real problem with bail reform are judges who refuse to differentiate between those likely to pose a genuine threat to anyone and those who do not. There are worlds of difference between all the people who have to contend with the criminal justice system, and not recognizing this does everyone a disservice. I am a victim of robbery and assault. I do and will continue to support bail reform for those without a continued history of violent crime. We've had too many wrongful convictions due to court appointed attorneys rushing cases thru court - due to being under pressure from the judges who appoint them & determine their salaries. This is inadequate legal representation due to lack of resources - too many wrongful convictions of poor people. Working classers who are our neighbors, co-workers, fellow church goers, classmates - and most of all friends or even family members. Everyone thinks it can't happen to them or theirs, so why should they care. WRONG!! This has happened to too many people who never deserved any of it. Bonding out helps innocent people take care of their families while preparing for court, and is only fair - it's still "innocent until proven guilty" as far as I know. However, allowing violent repeat offenders to bond out flies in direct opposition to common sense. The thug who robbed me (and others) last year has been incarcerated roughly half his life due to violent felonies against women. Every time he's let out he's in trouble again within a year or two of being released. Nevertheless, he was allowed to bond out again, despite his previous 3 or 4 violent felonies (all against women), despite his known affiliation to a violent gang, despite stating he has no next of kin - yet is staying with family, despite stating that he's employed but has no income, etc. Right now he's in violation of the terms of his bond, so it's been revoked - although he is still at large. That's bad, but the assault which took place 5 years ago was worse. The offender is a racist with a much longer (and worse) rap sheet of violent felonies against both women and children. He was convicted of forcing himself on someone younger than 14 years old (she was 9 - I snooped) yet repeatedly released, babied, allowed special treatment, etc. He was allowed to plea bargain 3 horrific felonies down to the extent that he only served 129 days total instead of the usual 20 years or so for each crime. He assaulted me when he put his hands on me in front of my spouse, who is a different ethnicity than I am, and was partially disabled at the time. The racist who assaulted me is the same color I am. He assaulted someone else on the day we were supposed to go to court - and was allowed to hide behind the mental illness defense to avoid consequences on these latest crimes. He's essentially lived his entire life in some kind of extended diaper, and since he's currently in his late 60's I don't think he'll grow up or become a man at this point in his life. So there will be more incidents where he'll commit crimes and be let off the hook; it's been that way his entire pathetic life, why change now? These crimes are enabled by those too corrupt or lazy to perform their jobs, and they need to be replaced before more people get hurt - or worse.
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Prison is a place where the watchers are just as corrupt as those they watch. The low IQ of prisoners is matched by the low IQ of the watchers. Under Democrat governor Ann Richards, Texas tried to build itself out of crime. Over one hundred new prisons were constructed in the 70's and early 80's. Many of them were opened and then quickly closed because Richard's did not tell the citizens that then it would cost over one billion dollars annually to keep said prisons open. Texas prisoners used to run the prisons. Imagine the criminals watching over the criminals. If you don't want to find yourself in jail and/or prison, walk the straight and narrow. Incarceration is not easy and not worth it for any reason.

Violent crimes should be the Only way you go to prison. Everything else county time.
But how does that compare to deaths outside of jail on the streets with gangs. It’s it really more dangerous or is it dangerous everywhere???
The point is that these people are there in the custody of the US government, on the street people are not. And since they're talking about jails this means that they're held there pre-trial. They aren't even convicted of anything yet.
There aew not enough psychologists in the world to help rehabiliate criminals and innocence in jail. Usa jail is full of persons with mental issues. The system jails these, instead of fixing the root pf the provlem, that causes persons to commit crime. Educators and medical practitioners could help change behaviour thst leads to crime. People are dying, due to mental distress, but there are no services to prevent suicide in place and is therapy ever prescribed to those in jail?
If there was the death penalty you wouldnt have issues with these repeated violent offenders. You also wouldnt be wasting tax money on these things.
It's all religious in a way-It's almost guaranteed that these "transgressors" have commited victimless crimes-
This appeal is not particularly persuasive to me; nevertheless it will be to a great many people. I think the old saying that charity begins at home is a factor. There are far too many who did not feel their homes were places of charity and consequently fall short of offering it to inmates on the assertion that their condition is a scandal. I don't think it is particularly helpful to cycle through the system thinking it not a bad way to guarantee three squares and a cot; no need for torture either, deprivation of freedom is sufficient for an appropriate duration, or to reasonably protect the public.
All persons and institutions fall short of the glory of God.
