Thank you.
Most of the people we are working with suffer from substance abuse and the issues that stem from that. The people who are imprisoned and go through the revolving door of the jail system are people who are often suspended or revoked on breaches that are related to substance abuse and the poverty that comes with that.
In addition to that, mental health disability is something we see as prevalent within the prison system. We don't have enough services to support people who have mental health disabilities in our communities. It would be beautiful if we did and if we were studying that. If we could put money towards that, it would really go a long way toward preventing harm.
