It's Not Just Epstein: Jails Are Failing at Preventing Suicide

Each year, more than 300 people take their lives while incarcerated in America’s jails. Christine Tartaro, professor of Criminal Justice at Stockton University, and Rosa Goldensohn, reporter for THE CITY, talk about how jails and prisons are failing at keeping inmates alive and how a criminal justice system could take mental health seriously. 

I can relate to everything Sheila said. I have a sibling in the NY state prison system. There is no help for mental health. The whole system is counter productive and creates deeper mental health issues for inmates which will effect them for a lifetime.
