We're discussing a class action lawsuit by people incarcerated for mental illness or their relatives and next friends on their behalf.  Mental illness should be treated medically, not legally.  MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com

               Welcome to AIMI 

 Thank you for joining us!

   1.25 MILLION AMERICANS ARE MENTALLY ILL PRISONERS.  Together with other human rights activists and organizations, we can decriminalize mental illness and become a bridge in the mist for incarcerated mental patients to a more humane existence.

Prisoners with mental dysfunctions should be either hospitalized or cared for in their communities, depending on their offenses and the severity of their conditions, not imprisoned!   Disabled people should not be jailed for their handicaps. 

AIMI is a group for those with a commitment to HUMAN RIGHTS to come together and promote decriminalization of mental illness and help remove the stigma associated with this condition.  AIMI gives no psychiatric, medical, or legal advice or referrals.  Our goals are simply to educate the public on the seriousness of the issue and promote change in how mental illness is dealt with by our legislators and law enforcement.

AIMI seeks to work with others to help (a) remove barriers to timely treatment,  thereby reducing the number of patients who must be removed from society, and (b) see that acute patients who do require containment become hospital inpatients, not prison inmates.  It is morally wrong and more expensive for taxpayers to prosecute rather than treat psychiatric patients.

Homelessness, prison, and death must not continue to be America's answers to mental illness.
