Wow, I have a story to put with this article and it just happened last week and to this day hurts and is very sad. I had a friend i graduated with and he got caught up in some crime where he shit someone on the neck he had to serve a 12 year sentence but the big thing is that he had end stage renal failure and was no longer supported with the transport list he died last week in jail. All I wanna say is that no matter who the convict does no one should suffer especially if they are already know to have a sickness. It was possible for him to have surgery and go back with nurse supervision but Noone thought that way, when he had is trial he stated he didn't want to die in jail but in the end did just that. The correctional facility doesn't know how much a person means to us until something like that happens it's sad we didn't get their help. LifeImagine789
I agree with you and think that just because these inmates have made the decisions that have landed them where they are today. However no one deserves to suffer when they know that they need the help. These correctional officers do not understand what it is like to sit in a room where you only get out for an hour and just sit and think and then a top of all that you are having a mental illness. I hope that correctional officers can soon see what is going on around them and start to help the inmates. Green789
This is truly shocking that prisons treat prisoners in solitary confinement with the same regard. The fact that they don't even acknowledge the fact that mentally ill prisoners need proper care is just sickening to me. Simply isolating them can be extremely dangerous for a schizophrenic or someone with bipolar. Keeping them alone with their thoughts would damage their psyche even more and could be life threatening. Also there needs to be a way to make sure every prisoner is properly diagnosed as mentally, so prisoners fall through the cracks and end up in general population where they can be taken advantage of. I hope this problem is fixed in the next few years, or we just might have to send our mentally ill prisoners to Siberia where at least they'll receive the proper treatment. Flitzy789
This article is very upsetting that the correctional officers and people that work in the jails and prisons are horrible people when it comes to them putting inmates into solitary confinement. Some of these inmates are having a serious issue and needs someone there to help them through it not for the system to just push them into a room and forget that they are even there and have a mental illness that needs attention. I wish that we would have correctional officers that really cared about their job. Yes the inmates have done wrongful things and that is why they are in the system to begin with however it is not right for us to just ignore that some of these inmates are having a problem. Green789
