Comment on Freefall into Madness: The Fresno County Jail’s Barbaric Treatment of the Mentally Ill by Sharee

Firstly most people with these mental problems quit their own meds and thus ended up in jail or homeless.
Secondly if we find they need these medications they should be moved from the jail to a mental patient facility!
Mistakes are made when we assume all mental patients have someone towatch over them! Living like animals as a homeless person in itself is tragically “Mental”. But putting the mentally ill in jail? Never ! Even on their meds they have a tendency to rebel against simple care. Build the asylums its obvious people are tired of taking care of their own family crazies unless they are the cute docile kind.

One of the best stories I’ve read anywhere about this barbaric situation in Fresno. People of compassion need to get involved and put pressure on the county and on the sheriff to make sure these human beings get the medications they need. Otherwise, the county and its citizens are guilty of barbarism.

What an outrage! If I were queen I’d round up these officials and put them in cells, induce phychosis in them. Withhold meds. See how they like it. Oh yeah, make ‘em all lose 80 pounds too. But, I have a feeling even that wouldn’t change them because they are obviously a bunch of sociopaths. Add those laughing jailers too. Sheesh I am mad about this!

We’d like to think what we don’t, or don’t choose to know won’t hurt us. But clearly these things we would not know without COA are killing people, We dare not stay ignorant, our souls depend on it.
