She never should have been in jail in the first place. We need to look at our criminal justice system from the ground up. What does it say about our society when our solution to dealing with individuals with mental health issues is to send them to jail for minor infractions? It's really quite apparent that incarcerating such individuals in a system designed for serious offences is just going to exacerbate their mental health condition. It is also apparent that corrections officers are insufficiently trained to deal with such individuals. Surely there are better ways of handling such situations that don't result in individuals who don't really pose a threat to society being placed behind bars? Think of the benefits to the individual and society in general if we directed more resources towards mental health support rather than corrections.
