Just today morning, I read NT times article’ psychiatric paietns, no way to go but jail”. Chicago’s  of closing down few mental health clinic would affect the mental health care provided to jail population as well as component of general population suffering from mental health illnesses. It would cause changes in behavior which in turn would foster criminal activities. More psychiatric patients will land up in jail, and number of prisoners trapping in mental health illnesses would increase. Vicious cycle! If we think of humane side of the issue, isn’t it cruel treating  psychiatric patients like criminal?
