[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 184773, member: 3444"] The circumstances of her death are just obscene! I hope the family wins their suit! :angry: I was reading the thread about mental health care and the prison system -- this is a huge issue for me. If we treated our mentally ill more effectively instead of ignoring the problem, the majority of people in our prison systems would be living IN society and contributing to it instead of languishing on the fringe. I heard a statistic on a documentary that stated the majority of inmates either have a learning disability or a mental illness. Wow. Imagine if we could stem the tide when these people are CHILDREN?! What would our world be like? Not too long ago, our state had a measure on the ballot that would levy a small tax on incomes over $1 million, and those funds would go straight to the mental health care system. If I could have, I would have voted TWICE for that measure! In fact, even if it would tax people in MY income bracket, I would have been first in line to sign up. Thankfully, it did pass. [/QUOTE]
