Can't put it down! Such a great story.
Insane America's Criminal Treatment Of Mental Illness
by Alisa Roth
View in Library Catalog



When thinking about the criminal justice system, we often think about how it abuses those in the African American or BIPOC community. While that is very true, this fixation can cause us to overlook other groups hurt by the system, such as the mentally ill. I say this because even though I took a forensic psych class where we learned about some of the topics discussed in this class and I have read letters from inmates that have made me stop to ponder if maybe they are suffering from an illness, I still overlook this population of people. After reading this book, I don't think I will ever overlook this population again. This book did an excellent job discussing the entanglement I'd mental illness, treatment, and the criminal justice system along with solutions that people have started. Roth seems to cover everything you can possibly think of about the topic. The way they weave the anecdotal stories and research together is great too, it really drives some points home. It also helps humanize those who are apart of the statistics. The book also did a fantastic job of not focusing solely on one area. Roth recognizes the connections between institutions in society and the complexities those connections create and they manage to reflect these complications within their discussion. This book opened my eyes to some topics that I had been aware of but not known about and it also opened my eyes to things I hadn't known about or considered. This is one of those books that has forever changed and expanded the way I will think about issues involving criminal justice system.
