    I love whistle blowers!!! We need more. Finally, someone with a heart. It's not just at this facility. It's at all the prisons. Weather they are mentally ill OR not. This makes sain people go nuts. Even a person of full sound and mind would break them down. It literally is equally the same as locking yourself in a bathroom with nothing. NOTHING, but your thoughts. These facilities lock human beings up in cages, literally like dogs, and the Co's decide what they get. These are people too, and the vast majority are there for really dumb things. Stupid mistakes. Not every person thats locked up is a bad apple, there actually really good people that made stupid choices. Never the less they are still people.

    so shocking and sad how jails and prisons have become dumping grounds for people with mental illness. People who probably wouldn't have even committed their 'crime' without it factoring in to the equation. I'm not saying people shouldn't be held accountable, but this is a gross injustice and these people need a higher level of care than 'jail protocol '.... smh
