Beschreibung
Insane takes journalist Alisa Roth deep inside our prisons and jails to show how and why they have become warehouses for people with mental illness, institutions rife with improper treatment and outright abuse. She brings readers from the overwhelmed mental health units of the Los Angeles County Jail to a women's prison in Oklahoma with one of the fastest-growing populations of people with mental illness in the country. Roth provides the first comprehensive account of America's mental health crisis - and uncovers the hidden forces behind it. She also explores some of the most innovative solutions to the problem, showing that large-scale fixed at many levels of the mental health and criminal justice system are within reach. Now updated to cover the latest developments in criminal justice reform, Insane is a stirring call to action for anyone concerned about the plight of our most vulnerable.
