Jeremy Smith, Mentally Ill, Faces Extended Sentence for Insolence in Calif.
Oct 25, 2009

California inmate, Jeremy Smith, has been schizophrenic since childhood.  He was arrested for hitting another mental patient in a mental health facility.  He caused no lasting damage.  That act of aggression from Jeremy, a sick young man, has already costed California taxpayers over $70,000 per year, because Jeremy is isolated in the "hole," which is solitary confinement.  His mom reports that Jeremy was sentenced for EIGHT YEARS.

Allegedly, Jeremy said some things to a prison guard that were not nice.  Now he faces additional sentencing for making "terrorist threats."  This is how a simple battery on the part of a mentally ill person can easily turn into life in prison - SOMETHING YOU, THE TAXPAYERS, FINANCE - the criminalization of mental illness.  Please pray for Jeremy and his mom, Care2 member, Gina.  Pray for all mentally ill people in dark, 9' 6' cells today, where they are usually naked and always alone.  Pray for our officials who allow this to continue.

Please sign Jeremy's petition for justice at this link - treatment, not punishment for mental illness.  http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/JusticeForJeremy

Decriminalize Mental Illness - Save Money and Lives, by Mary Neal
Jun 7, 2009
The Obama administration is making some commendable policy changes for America. One of President Obama's first executive orders strengthened the Freedom of Information Act. He also signed an executive order to end prison torture in the War on Terror camps. The Bush administration USDOJ issued orders to torture detainees in the prison camps. Prisoners within America also suffered gross abuses and death. Under that administration, my family was refused any assistance resolving the 2003 secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal, my mentally ill brother, a heart patient. Shelby County Jail in Memphis repeatedly and falsely denied having Larry incarcerated until his death after 18 days of secret arrest. The USDOJ allowed Larry's jail death to go without investigation because "equal justice" was not applied to protecting the rights of mentally ill Americans. Even their right to life was not protected, which is reminiscent of how mentally afflicted citizens were killed outright in Nazi Germany.

During Ronald Regan's presidency, many mental hospitals were downsized or closed. Tens of thousands of former inpatients were left to fend for themselves. Many of them and sick people who came after them lived homeless on the streets of our cities. Scores slept in shelters if they were not deemed too unruly. Others became "bag ladies" who carried their meager possessions around in shopping carts. Thousands slept under America's overpasses and behind dumpsters. Many of them froze, died of medical neglect, starvation, botched arrest attempts, and some were easy prey for street criminals. Over time, the lack of attention and resources for our most vulnerable citizens became the predominant reason for horrific murders done to and by persons who would have been hospital inpatients.

The so-called "deinstitutionalization" of mental patients also caused America's astronomical prison population, the largest in world history. Criminalizing mental illness and prejudicial sentencing laws account for 1 in every 99.1 Americans being imprisoned today, and 1 in 9 young black men. Once incarcerated, the mentally ill generally suffer more cruel punishment than other detainees, comprising 60% of those warehoused in solitary confinement. The recidivism rate among the mentally ill is very high, as punishment does not resolve their issues or deter their illness from manifesting itself in unacceptable ways.

The VIDEO at the article below shows Nafiza Ziyad's bipolar crisis on an Atlanta MARTA train in 2008. The video illustrates the complete loss of control some schizophrenic and bipolar victims experience when their conditions go untreated. No one in such a health crisis should be punished any more than a person with diabetes who blacks out at the wheel would be imprisoned. The answer is better treatment access, including enforced care if the patients are too sick to recognize their own illness.

Enforced Treatment vs. Prison for Acute Mental Patients and Updates, by Mary Neal
http://my.nowpublic.com/health/enforced-treatment-vs-prison-acute-m...

Criminalizing mental illness may be done in part to increase profits to prison investors. Mental hospitalization and community care could provide humane alternatives to mentally challenged citizens, reduce overcrowded prison conditions, reducie the taxpayers' burden, and increase public safety. It costs no more to treat mentally ill offenders in hospitals if they are violent or in their communities if they are not violent than it does to imprison them - usually in cruel conditions such as solitary confinement.

Our prison industry budget is over $50 BILLION per year. Each inmate costs taxpayers up to $50,000 per year to warehouse in jail. Therefore, the more people who are incarcerated, the more money prison investors make. The worse crime offenders commit, the longer their prison sentences. A 30-year-old murderer can easily cost taxpayers over $3 million if he gets a life sentence. Death penalties are illegal for the mentally ill; however, it is done. Each death row inmate costs taxpayers around $90,000 PER YEAR MORE than maximum security prison inmates.

HOSPITALIZATION FOR VIOLENT OFFENDERS

The quickest and least costly way to address many justice problems in the U.S. is to decriminalize mental illness. Mentally dysfunctional people number 1.25 million of the 2.3 million people incarcerated in the U.S. Acute mental patients incarcerated for violent crimes should be transferred away from prisons and into secure mental hospitals. It costs no more to treat them in mental hospitals than it does to treat them in prisons. Prisons are for punishment, rehabilitation, and crime prevention. Sick people cannot be punished or rehabilitated into a state of mental health, and a secure mental hospital would serve as well as prison for crime prevention. Hospitalization for violent mentally ill offenders would be more humane and afford society equal protection compared to imprisonment. Furthermore, hospitalization would be more just, because many of those incarcerated were incapable understanding their Miranda rights or contributing to their own defense.

Most mentally ill inmates were arrested for non-violent offenses like vagrancy and drug usage. Drugs and alcohol are frequently used by people with mental health issues to self-medicate. They attempt to "get their heads on straight" without seeking professional help. Psychiatric treatment is not affordable for most, and mental health services have been reduced in communities. Once incarcerated, they often get time added to their original sentences due to their lack of ability to cooperate with rules reducing the likelihood of early paroles.

ASSISTED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT PROGRAMS FOR NON-VIOLENT OFFENDERS

In New York City, a group of offenders exiting prison were put in an ASSISTED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT PROGRAM (AOT) under KENDRA'S LAW. Kendra's Law participants were given subsistence assistance for food and housing, and they had court-ordered treatment. The choice of whether or not to accept psychiatric treatment was taken from the participants, and they thrived!

Kendra's Law participants experienced better than 85% reduction in their rates of homelessness, incarceration, and hospitalization when compared to their records three years prior to joining the program. KENDRA'S LAW WORKS, and this has already been proved. The fact that there were 85% fewer arrests among Kendra's Law participants means communities were also much safer because there was LESS CRIME.

With better than 85% success rate, why don't more municipalities apply Kendra's Law to mentally ill persons exiting prisons and mental hospitals? Legislation needs to be changed. Presently, enforced treatment is considered as being an infringement on the rights of mental patients, until there is a smoking gun or dripping knife. It could also be that Kendra's Law works TOO well. An 85% reduction in the arrests of mentally ill offenders would mean a corresponding loss in revenue to PRIVATE PRISON INVESTORS. It is more profitable to leave acute mental patients free and untreated in society and withhold provisions for their housing and food. Most untreated acute mental patients can be counted on to break the law at some point and commit crimes ranging from simple vagrancy to murder, then become prisoners.

Families of mentally challenged Americans have too little say in determinations that impact their own lives as they wrestle with mental health issues among their loved ones. Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI") was established to help identify and advance means for more mentally challenged persons to be successfully integrated into society and restored to wholesome living. AIMI endeavors to put forth the point of view held by human rights activists, family members, and many psychiatric patients who are directly impacted by mental health legislation. THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO ADDRESS MENTAL ILLNESS THAT IS MORE HUMANE, COST-EFFECTIVE, AND SAFER THAN IMPRISONMENT. Homelessness, prison and death must cease being America's answers to mental illness. These are currently the only options readily available for middle-class and indigent acute mental patients.

Rep. Johnson (D-TX) put forth H.R. 619 to reinstate Medicaid payments for inpatient mental health treatment, which would make long-term hospitalization available again for acute mental patients as well as short-term crisis intervention that could prevent tragedies. Assisted Outpatient Therapy programs should be immediately applied for mental patients exiting jails and hospitals. With those two changes, many families would be saved the unnecessary trauma of having their weakest members suffer incarceration for crimes they did not understand or lacked the wherewithal to avoid, and billions of dollars which presently go to imprisoning the mentally ill could be used for more constructive, humane purposes.  No one can be punished or rehabilitated into a state of mental health, and hospitals for acute patients would serve better than prisons for containment and treatment.

Many famous people have or had mental illness, including scientists, entertainers, and world leaders.  (See a partial list at Mary's page at the link below.)  Unless they are/were wealthy, they would likely be imprisoned in solitary confinement in 21st century America at great expense to taxpayers.

POLICE BEATING OF SCHIZOPHRENIC CAUGHT ON TAPE -

(above): Ronnie Holloway  was on his routine nightly walk when  Officer Joseph J. Rios III attacked him. (Courtesy: NorthJersey. com)

 

From ABC News:

"The tape shows Holloway, 49, waiting outside Lawrence's Grill and Bar restaurant in Passaic when a police cruiser pulled up and a female officer asked him to zip up his sweatshirt. Holloway appears to comply, but Rios jumps out and begins hitting him with his fists and a baton.

"The scene shows baby strollers and other pedestrians walk by in the downtown retail section of this community of immigrants and working poor.

"Holloway does not appear to resist, and at one point, Rios seems to stand him back up and then slam him into the police cruiser.

"'These cops know him,' said Holloway's lawyer Nancy Lucianna of Fort Lee, N.J. 'He's lived in the town for 25 years, does the same routine every night. He goes out after dinner, takes a walk, and paces back and forth.'"

Police beating of schizophrenic caught on tape - what are your comments? ====== Police Beating of Schizophrenic Caught on Tape
Bar Video for Criminal Activity Catches Alleged Police Brutality
By SUSAN DONALDSON JAMES
June 6, 2009
 

Ronnie Holloway's eyes were still black and blue one week after he was allegedly beaten by a Passaic, N.J., police officer -- an attack that was inadvertently caught on a video surveillance camera.

Holloway, who is on medication for schizophrenia, joined more than 80 others outside that community's city hall Saturday to demand that Officer Joseph R. Rios III be fired.  

Soft-Spoken Man Now Confused by Police

Lucianna said Holloway, who is a "soft-spoken, almost childlike" man who lives with his mother, has never had a police record of any kind.

"He is compliant and calm with medication," she told ABCNews.com.

His mother, Betty Holloway, said that without the surveillance tape, the truth about what happened would never have been revealed.

She said the female officer at the scene never tried to stop the officer as her son was beaten to the ground. Both Holloways deny he had a drug problem.

Betty Holloway said her son had always respected police before this incident.

"Now, he is confused and doesn't know what to think," she told ABC reporter Stacey Sager of New York affiliate WABC.

Passaic police refused to comment for ABCNews.com. Rios, a 7-year veteran of the police department is still on active duty, according to local police reports.

The Holloways have filed a complaint with the police's internal affairs department demanding an investigation. They are also asking for the state country prosecutor's office to bring criminal charges against Rios and are filing a suit against the department for police brutality.

"We are looking for the police department to suspend the officer pending an investigation, " said Lucianna. "And I don't think this will take too much time -- maybe 15 minutes -- because the videotape speaks for itself. We don't want this to happen to anyone else."

One of the demonstrators at Saturday's rally -- Shawanna Barksdale of Passaic -- claims she, too, had been pulled from her car two years ago by Rios in a case of mistaken identity.

"I'm really upset this happened again," said Barksdale, a 30-year-old phlebotomist with three children, ages 15, 9 and 2. "It's still bad enough to be emotional."

She said Rios had jumped into her barely stopped car as she was pulling over to assist her sister, who was parked by the side of the road.

"He just attacked me," she told ABCNews.com. "He jumped in my vehicle and dragged me out by my hair. I still had my foot on the brake and wasn't even parked. He told me to get out with no explanation why, then hit me and cussed at me."

Barksdale said she was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and obstruction with a vehicle. Those charges were later dropped, but no action was taken against the police.

Police Shouldn't Hurt Us

"I remember that," said her cousin, Khadijah Barksdale, 15, who was babysitting for the three children while Shawanna Barksdale was at the rally. "He hit her, and she had to defend herself any way she could."

"I think [the officer] should be charged with something and fired," she said. "That's just not right because he has a gun on him and all the power. He's a policeman. He shouldn't be hurting anybody."

Holloway was charged with "wandering or loitering or remaining for the purpose of obtaining drugs."

Video surveillance was set up at Lawrence's Grill and Bar to catch criminal activity. On May 29, the day of the alleged beating, the shift manager was told there had been a police incident outside and reviewed the recording.

The tape, according to Holloway's lawyer, was sent to the Passaic Police Department, "who did nothing about it."

The tape was eventually made public by the Bergen County Record newspaper.

He crushed their skulls by repeated, forceful blows with a baseball bat.  Seven-year-old Jesse and his 10-year-old cousin, Edwin, died the day after Christmas from massive head injuries.  Joe Sauceda Gallegos, age 36, was arrested and charged initially with child abuse and dangerous crimes against children.  His charges were upgraded to first degree murder after the Edwin died Friday.  Another first degree murder charge is planned against Gallegos because little Jesse also died, shortly after his cousin.

Law officers had no trouble apprehending Gallegos within hours of the brutal attack.  All police had to do was look for the man who reportedly told authorities six months ago that he killed his own sons and had their bodies in his attic.  But police never found any such victims at the house.  Gallegos’ sons are the same ages of the little boys he murdered.  They were not dead in their father’s attic, but safe with their mother in Colorado.  This time when police went to Gallegos’ home, they found a baseball bat and blood-soaked clothes.  This writer has not verified that such a report was made to police as reported by Gallegos' uncle, but the article is written with the assumption that such a report was made as stated in the Associated Press news report at the link below. 

**************************************

Both Boys Beaten Severely in Phoenix Park Die 

December 26, 2008

(AP) PHOENIX – "It was just a brutal, vicious attack that didn't need to happen," [Phoenix police Sgt. Tommy] Thompson said.  Police don't know a motive. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081226/ap_on_re_us/children_beaten

**************************************

Six months ago, Gallegos reportedly pled for help by telling authorities he had murdered his two young sons.  But Gallegos’ psychosis was not answered with hospitalization and treatment.  This writer cannot say whether Gallegos was allowed to continue living unrestrained among his neighbors while suffering a mental health crisis because he refused treatment or if Gallegos' neglect was due to lack of funds for mental health care in Arizona.  What can be an acceptable explanation to the children’s family for leaving Gallegos in an obvious psychotic state, free to act on his murderous hallucinations?  What excuse is there for Gallegos’ uncle, Joe Sauceda, who tried to explain to police after the murders that his nephew is schizophrenic and needed help? 

Now that Gallegos really has murdered two little boys as he probably envisioned repeatedly for six months or more while watching children play, his approval was not sought by authorities before taking him into custody, and no expense will be spared to imprison Gallegos for the rest of his life.  Gallegos finally met the mark for intervention when he proved to be a danger by bludgeoning his young neighbors to death before Christmas Eve.  Gallegos’ consent for containment and treatment is no longer required.  America’s prison budget is ample, unlike mental health care funding to prevent such tragedies.

Gallegos will get psychiatric examinations now that little Jesse and Edwin have died, and he will be treated for schizophrenia in prison.  Gallegos will not be able to post his $1 million bail, so he will remain imprisoned for many months at taxpayers’ expense while awaiting trial.  A lawyer will be appointed to represent Gallegos, also at taxpayers’ expense.  A superior court judge will spend hours reviewing Gallegos’ psychiatric evaluations, reading motions, and listening to oral arguments by a well-paid state prosecutor and Gallegos’ attorney.  Then the judge will issue a ruling on whether the mentally ill man is competent to stand trial for murdering his young neighbors.   A stenographer will take notes at the hearings while at least one law officer stands guard.  After all of this, Gallegos will likely be appointed a cell alongside 1.25 million other Americans who are criminalized and imprisoned for mental illness.

If Gallegos recovers his mental faculties well enough to live among the regular inmate population, Arizona taxpayers will be billed around $50,000 per year for the rest of Gallegos' life.  On the other hand, if Gallegos remains in a state of mental crisis, the cost of his incarceration for taxpayers will triple. Because Gallegos committed such a heinous crime - child murders - he will likely be subject to hostility and abuse by other inmates and become an object of hated for prison guards.  It is doubtful that Gallegos will find his prison environment conducive to healing, so it is unrealistic to expect him to recover sufficiently to join the general inmate population. 

No concessions should be anticipated for Gallegos’ mental illness in prison.  In fact, mentally ill prisoners are ordinarily incarcerated under crueler circumstances than other inmates.  Rather than psychiatric treatment, many acute mental patients in prisons across America are gassed, Tasered, or placed in often deadly restraint chairs for control.  Others are regularly condemned to solitary confinement and some spend many months naked in cells the size of small closets where they live in their own filth, perhaps relieved for one hour of exercise daily, or perhaps not. Torture is not known for improving one's mental health.  Therefore, Arizona taxpayers probably will never realize the savings that could result if Gallegos improves.  That being the case, taxpayers will pay approximately $150,000 per year for warehousing Gallegos for the remaining 41.8 years of his life expectancy (about $6,270,000.00).  

If Gallegos ever recovers sufficiently to realize the monstrous act he was allowed to commit while in the grips of a schizophrenic crisis, he will undoubtedly regret being left untreated and free to kill two beautiful children during Christmas week, 2008.
