It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. ~ Mark Twain
Roughly 1.25 million of America's prisoners are mental patients who should be in hospitals or receiving treatment in community health programs, not jailed for having a disability! Disabled people should not be arrested for their handicaps. Homelessness, prison, and death must not continue to be America's answer to mental illness for our nation's indigent citizens.

Decriminalize mental illness. Prisons are not for warehousing disabled people.
"In 2006, over 7.2 million people were on probation, in jail or prison, or on parole at yearend 2006 -- 3.2% of all U.S. adult residents or 1 in every 31 adults." ~ U.S. Department of Justice
In 2006, 1 in every 134 Americans were doing time, 2/3 were non-violent offenders, and more than half were mentally ill persons.
GOOD NEWS FOR PRISON INVESTORS! NUMBERS WENT UP!

1 in every 99.1 adults was incarcerated by Feb. 2008. That takes care of the mentally ill and regular citizens. Why stop there? Now, they are working on the children.
Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering as if you were suffering with them. ~ Hebrews 13:3
Please Decriminalize Mental Illness!

LARRY NEAL was one of many victims of prisoner genocide. His survivors are terrorized and censored to prevent disclosure.
American justice is sick and dying. Can anyone save Justice, please?
Reutersreports the indictment alleges, "Former attorney general Gonzales used his position to 'stop the investigations as to the wrong doings' regarding assaults in county prisons . . . .” Americans want a justice system that is truly just.
Warewolves are half human dog beasts that await the opportunity to destroy human beings for their own survival and prosperity, such as prison profiteers.
ERIC HOLDER, CAN YOU AND WILL YOU BRING NEEDED CHANGE TO THE USDOJ? Answer received May 2010: "NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT." The USDOJ refused to respond to the Neal family's Freedom of Information Act request for documents related to the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal, an American with mental and physical disabilities who was arrested for being a nuisance to police and killed on Aug. 1, 2003. Some murders are apparently allowed in the USA. The Neal family is denied any investigation of Larry Neal's murder, and we are deprived of records despite boasts of "transparency in government."
I was so impressed with the zeal to enforce justice for pit bulls that I penned this poem, wishing that certain people counted as much as dogs in America with their right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness protected like canine citizens:
DOG JUSTICE
Too bad you weren't a dog, my brother In my heart, I cried Many more people would care about you And wonder why you died
You had no spots or floppy ears You never fetched a ball Instead, you were a human being But poor, black, and flawed
You died in jail for mental illness I know down in my heart Your death would be investigated If only you could bark
Dog deaths get swift justice Their abusers are sent to jail Poor Mama would have closure now If you'd had a wagging tail
But you were made in God's image And some day, I have no doubt The mentally ill and American dogs Will have at least equal clout
Mental Health Parity Is Now Law This landmark legislation requires health insurance plans that offer mental health coverage to provide the same financial and treatment coverage offered for other physical illnesses.
Thank you for Responsible Government!
Here is a link to thank your representatives and remind them that acute mental patients may not be able to work and are excluded from benefiting by this excellent law. They need hospital insurance to stay out of prison, as provided for by congressional bill H.R.619, to resume Medicaid: http://www.house.gov/writerep
Survey closed 9/30/08. Thank you for participating!
The results were that 100% of participants believed it is important to have inpatient and outpatient psychiatric treatment to replace prison for mentally ill Americans.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PETITION ASKING A FEDERAL AGENCY TO PLEASE, PLEASE DO WHAT TAXPAYERS PAY IT TO DO? HERE IS ONE:
YOUR OPINION, PLEASE: Our canine friends must be protected. Do you agree that the deaths of mentally ill people in America's jails and prisons deserve investigation as much as the abuse and deaths of American dogs?
If so, then please sign our Petition for Dog Justice for the Mentally Ill, or at least open it and read the petition and the supportive comments from people who CARE (select "view signatures" at this link): http://www.petitiononline.com/Neal/petition.html

Acute mental illness is still dealt with like it was in the 1400s - isolation and cruelty. Too often, homelessness, prison and death are the outcomes for middle class and indigent people who are mentally challenged. In fact, roughly 1.25 million American inmates have mental illness to some degree. I believe that most mentally ill prisoners should either be (i) relocated to decent psychiatric hospitals for treatment and containment, or (ii) returned to their communities under court-ordered psychiatric treatment, with provisions for their general welfare. Many mentally ill prisoners never understood their Miranda rights or the charges against them, and their imprisonment is therefore cruel and unusual punishment. It is less expensive to treat the mentally ill in their communities or as in-patients than to keep them revolving in and out of jails and prisons. Timely treatment is safer for people with psychiatric issues and our communities. Most importantly, treatment of the mentally ill is the only humane option for a civilized society.
Like many people, I have spent much time worrying in the past. I have now learned to depend on Jesus! I work as though everything depends on me, and I pray as though everything depends on my Father. That is perfect balance!
What Gives Me Hope
I hope in God and in the intrinsic goodness in most people.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
I would be dictated by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. I would uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. I'd strive for peace among peoples in America and around the world and make humane decisions regarding all problems before me. I would decide on issues based on my decisions' future long-term impact on citizens' rights, our country's economy and environment as well as likely short-term benefits. My leadership would be guided by love.
What/who changed my life and why
Dorothea Lynde Dix (April 4, 1802 – July 17, 1887) was an American activist on behalf of the indigent insane. Through a vigorous program of lobbying state legislatures and the United States Congress, she removed many mentally ill Americans from prisons by creating the first generation of American mental hospitals. She forced legislators to begin looking at the mentally ill as human beings deserving treatment and care.
