Abstract
- The author discusses the possible worsening of mental health services for mentally ill prisoners (MIPs) as a result of an untimely 2014 joint sheriffs' report. He cites its findings of the rising number of MIPs, the forced providing of care for them due to reduction of hospitals and mental health services, and its advocacy for a molecular minimalist approach to ensure forced treatment. The author observes that the report is biased against addressing the root causes of mental illness in MIPs.
