Jails - "The New Asylums"
from Democracy Now! 6/13/06

The Commission on Safety and Abuse in America's Prisons argues the
country's prison system has fallen victim to overcrowding; overzealous
incarceration; abuse; unaccountability and inadequate health care.
Among its recommendations are to dramatically reduce the use of
physical force and prisoner segregation. It also calls on expanding
prisoner access to Medicare and Medicaid. The report singles out
treatment for the 400,000 prisoners suffering from mental-illness,
calling jails "the new asylums."
