Justice Gagged: Supermax: The Constitution and Mentally Ill Inmates

I published a comment to Andrew Cohen's article in The Atlantic that is entitled "Supermax: The Constitution and Mentally Ill Prisoners" (Part 3 of 3). The article is at this link. See if the stalkers let my comment stay http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/06/supermax-the-constitution-and-mentally-ill-prisoners/258587/ . Two links are in the three paragraphs below, making a total of four(4) for this article. I did not put links in the comment at The Atlantic. The cyberstalker at Care2 went crazy when I tried to post this. He/she did not want the link to WRONGFUL DEATH OF LARRY NEAL to post. Someone needs to tell the stalker that the website about my brother's murder cover-up is EXPOSED already. I wrote:

Thank you for the article about TORTURE OF AMERICA'S MENTALLY ILL CITIZENS. I will try to share it with members and visitors of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI), an online advocacy organization that is heavily censored. We advocate to DECRIMINALIZE MENTAL ILLNESS, but cyberstalkers were assigned to curtail our work, because PRISON INVESTORS DELIBERATELY WITHHOLD MENTAL HEALTH CARE TO PROFIT BY IMPRISONING SICK PEOPLE. The mentally ill are victimized by discrimination to a greater degree than any other group in the USA. They are wrongly imprisoned, brutalized and even killed, but investigations and prosecution are often withheld. Approximately 1.25 million of the nation's 2.5 million inmates are mentally ill (over half).

The good news is that the United States Department of Justice recently certified assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs. Program participants are mandated to accept psychiatric treatment, and their subsistence needs are met. AOT program participation reduces homelessness, arrests, hospitalizations, and imprisonment by up to 85%, compared to participants' experiences three years before joining the program (New York Kendra's Law results). Every acute mental patient exiting jails, mental hospitals, and prisons should be ordered into an AOT program to move them from the revolving door in and out of correctional facilities. That would possibly save their lives and/or the lives of others, plus save taxpayers the expense associated with criminal investigations, trial and CRUEL imprisonment of our mentally dysfunctional relatives and neighbors. See WRONGFUL DEATH OF LARRY NEAL http://WrongfulDeathofLarryneal.com to learn about a disabled man, my brother, who was secretly arrested for 18 days, murdered in custody, and his family is denied records or explanations about his essential government kidnapping and murder. Dogs are not allowed to be murdered, but the mentally ill are considered disposable. We at AIMI believe acute mental patients and their families should have at least DOG JUSTICE. Google my poem and petition, "Dog Justice for the Mentally Ill." Looking forward to sharing your work and reading parts 1 and 2 in this series. Blessings, from Mary Neal, director of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill and of Dog Justice for Mentally Ill http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/aimi (end of my comment at The Atlantic)

HOMELESSNESS, PRISON AND DEATH MUST STOP BEING AMERICA'S ANSWER TO MENTAL ILLNESS. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE PUNISHED FOR HAVING A COMMON, TREATABLE HEALTH CONDITION. The DOJ certification of AOT programs is a major improvement. Please advocate for AOT programs to be enacted in every city for outpatients, and petition officials to build or re-open mental hospitals for people who have done violent crimes and/or lack the wherewithal to live unrestrained. Prison is the wrong environment for America's mentally challenged population. Thank you for joining this important justice quest! NONE of the tweets I posted today show on my cell phone. I thought I would post them below. If they let you, follow me at Twitter where I am @koffietime

MaryLovesJustice Neal said...: I started a new Justice Gagged blog three times regarding President Obama's June 25 executive order freezing Russian assets, but stalkers won't let it post. That cannot be top secret news or I would not know it. However, I did not see it on the news this week, did you?; June 29, 2012 at 12:10 PM
