Synopsis
The American prison system today contains an estimated quarter of a million people who suffer from mental illness. In this searing critique, Mary Beth Pfeiffer shows how people suffering from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, clinical depression and other serious psychological illnesses are regularly incarcerated simply because alternative care is not available and how, once behind bars, they are punished again and again for behavior that is psychotic, not criminal. Drawing on numerous case studies--ranging from the story of a fifty-six-year-old killer who thought he was Jesus Christ to a schizophrenic who plucked her eyes out while in solitary confinement--Pfeiffer brings to light the wider failures behind a burgeoning crisis. The growing lack of proper help for the mentally ill in society at large has led to the wrongful imprisonment of unprecedented numbers of people whose crimes are the result of psychosis. Pfeiffer also lays bare the woeful absence of proper psychiatric care within the prison system. Correctional officers, lacking the training and even basic understanding to deal with disturbed inmates, routinely resort to punitive measures, like solitary confinement, that are psychologically devastating. Crazy in America is an indictment of a society that incarcerates its weakest and most vulnerable citizens--causing them to emerge sicker, more damaged, and even potentially more violent than when they were first imprisoned. It is a compelling and important examination of a shocking human rights abuse in our midst--our persecution of those we are unable, or unwilling, to help., Crazy in America shows how people suffering from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, clinical depression, and other serious psychological illnesses are regularly incarcerated because alternative care is not available. Once behind bars, they are frequently punished again for behaviour that is psychotic, not criminal.
