I'm very dismayed by the trajectory. I've been working in this situation for 16 years. I see that when people are sentenced, they are sent to corrections, but I think the sentence is the punishment and being taken away from society is the punishment. From that moment on, first of all, everything should be done to stabilize any acute medical-mental conditions. Everything from there on in should be geared towards helping them with their overall health, so that when they leave, they will become contributing members of society.
We have to look at what is working and to do what is working. Building big massive structures, with lots of segregation units, is not going to help.
