State Roundup: ACLU says state destroyed key record for mentally ill detainees; new delegate among string of vacancy-related appointments to state legislature
ACLU SAYS STATE DESTROYED KEY RECORDS FOR MENTALLY ILL DETAINEES: At the Baltimore Central Booking and Intake Center, detainees with serious mental health issues are typically kept in the inpatient mental health unit, part of the aging facility that has become known for its “extremely harsh” living conditions, according to attorneys for the ACLU’s National Prison Project, which tours parts of Baltimore’s pretrial jail complex as part of a decades-old health care lawsuit. Handwritten logs painted a different picture than other records produced for a lawsuit by Centurion Health, the jail’s mental health provider. For example, a Centurion-provided record would describe a detainee as refusing to leave their cell, but the handwritten logs showed that they were actually not allowed to leave due to behavioral issues.
