Victims of Mental Health Issues: 20 Beds Cut to 1

While 1 in 5 children lives in poverty, 1 in 5 adult Americans have experienced mental illness. Yet since the 2008 recession states have been cutting billions of dollars in mental health services. Incredibly, over 96 percent of public mental health beds have been eliminated since the 1950s. Over half of U.S. counties don't have a single psychiatrist or social worker.

So in this age of soaring stocks and new millionaires, where do we put our mental health patients? JAIL. According to the Treatment Advocacy Center, individuals with severe psychiatric diseases are 10 times more likely to be in prison than in a hospital bed.
. . .

This certainly started when Reagan cut all the Federal Mental Health facilities and released veterans from mental health hospitals. with Faith Based Initiatives cashing in BIG on this industry, we can expect an INCREASE in homeless mentally ill people.
