[QUOTE="DDD, post: 617202, member: 35"] I'm opting out as I just find it scarey that there is so little compassion, so little oversight, so little rehabilitative effort and so little appropriate medical care for MH issues. I spent a few years serving as a State volunteer (appointment. by Governors for independent oversight) and even 20 years ago I was aghast by what I personally saw and investigated in juvenile justice, mental health provision, and elder care abuses. The only area that was well monitored was treatment of the Developmentally Delayed. That, of course, was because the families of those consumers stayed on top of the governmental programs. The private correctional facilities ????? Good Grief! As Donna said they "cherry pick" their inmates AND many of them are running businesses for profit (vegetables, fish, clothing) using inmates who are of course low cost laborers and therefore providing unfair competition to private companies. Sadly my State no longer has the human rights committee system that was in place for many decades. Oversight and input, evidently, is no longer valued. Sigh! DDD [/QUOTE]
