"""      The fact is, it is everywhere, including in my home state of NM (see below), and all of this shit goes back to the many bad acting American psychiatrists who have never proven that they care about the very people they have long claimed they care so much about. No, the American Psychiatric Association continues to enabled the many bad acting Americnan psychiatrists running around these United States today, just as it always has. And none of today's American psychiatrists, none but for a rare few, can be trusted to care for our nations very much at risk and highly vulnerable mentally ill US citizens.

ACLU Sues UNM Hospital for Mistreatment of 12-Year-Old Patient

ALBUQUERQUE, NM – The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico has filed a lawsuit against the New Mexico Children's Psychiatric Hospital (NMCPH) for violating LeGina and Todd Thomases right to direct the care and upbringing of their 12-year-old daughter. The Thomases allege that the hospital mistakenly diagnosed their daughter as severely mentally ill, and threatened to have the state take custody of her if they did not approve administration of strong psychotropic drugs intended for adults. “While psychiatrists can provide valuable insight, the decision of whether a young child is exposed to potentially dangerous psychotropic drugs should be the parents’,” says ACLU-NM Managing Attorney Laura Schauer Ives.   “In this case, doctors attempted to usurp the Thomases’ right to make major medical decisions for their daughter because the parents disagreed that medication should be the first line of treatment. Insisting that doctors exhaust other treatment options before administering powerful psychotropic drugs does not make parents incompetent. It means they care about their child and want what’s best for her.”  

       Thefollowing was published in 2019.. Since that time, Shane Pelletier committed suicide by hanging in a Montana corrections intitiue, while Jesus Muiette was beaten to death in the Arizona state prison, Florence, AZ. Graphic tragedies, otherwise preventable, as a direct consequence of highly indent and gravely immoral American psychiatrists. Sure, there are different layers to both cases, a range of influences specific to what did in time lead to the deatths at issue herein, of both two mentally ill American citizens, as well as applies to two members of the general public. These motherficking bad acting American psychirsts, the many running around our nation today, care not more about thier own pateints than they do about public safety.

Of the Mental Health System and Law.

"Prisons Are the New Asylums." 
     Alisa Roth, The Atlantic (magazine) April 2018 .

This will be short. No less a debacle then the 2011 Jesus Murrieta scandal, wherein due to the willingness of the Administrators at Arizona State Hospital (ASH) to deny the public disclosure about Murrieta being at large in Phoenix, April Mott was murdered as a direct consequence of it all. Murrieta, thus, sentenced into the Arizona prison complex, versus being returned to ASH at more then one point in time when Phoenix police encountered Murrieta during the preceding three months before Mott's murder. 

Shane Pelletier, photo below, I know from my time at Montana State Hospital (MSH), 2016, now sentenced to at least eight years in prison.

On a near daily basis, on MSH' Alpha unit, Shane exhibited clearly severe psychosis despite being medicated in an in-patient setting. As a matter of plain fact, for example, in October, 2016, he attempted suicide, an attempt that was very close to success due to the failure of staff to reasonably respond to another's report about Shane's door being in some way blockaded. It did take, as documented by me at the time, a full nineteen (19) minutes following that first report before MSH staff realized the fact that Shane was hanging by his neck there in his room. 

Shane was discharged from MSH in late June, 2017. Less then two weeks after that, he was found to be involved in the rape of a young Missoula, Mt, woman. During his trial, it was raised by the prosecution that Shane had stated six (6) different versions of what actually went at the time of this incident during police interviews,  a pattern of delusion that I contend represents the fact that the man is severely disabled in relation to mental illness. While three independent psychological professionals testified to this fact, that Pelletier is affected by paranoid schizophrenia. Voices etc., and the basic inability to grasp reality in context.

Last week, on March 22, 2019, Shane was sentenced to no less then eight years in Montana's prison system. In graphic defiance of his known diagnosis as a man affected by severe mental illness. 

The presiding judge in this sentencing, Greg Pinski (8th Judicial District, Cascade County, MT), stated that Shane's apparent lack of remorse- which is 100% related to his given mental illness- was the underlying factor in why this sentence was imposed. While Missoula, MT, police (where Shane was arrested in summer, 2017), testified to the fact Shane had six separate claims about what had actually occurred on the night this woman was allegedly raped, this, too, a clear indication of the man's basic inability to grasp reality. 

Just one more hillbilly judge, which Montana is arguably rife with, who have little to no understanding of the significance of serious mental illness, or the grave risks associated with forcing such individuals into state managed corrections facilities. 

As stated above, state mental hospitals have forensic units, specifically designated to humanely incarcerate persons found to be involved in arguably criminal behavior arising as a direct consequence of serious mental illness. 

It goes without saying that corrections facilities do not provide such persons critically needed medical services. This applies most specifically to the care needs of the mentally ill. And in this very same context, there is a rising awareness in America that prisons and jails are increasingly housing persons affected by serious mental illness, which I contend is one of the most horrific aspects of the current criminal justice system. 

Just as disturbing is the fact that even in the greater community in America today (and elsewhere for time immemorial), mentally ill persons are at  a markedly higher risk of subject to violence then the general population. Prisons, it only follows, are even worse. 

In expressing her legitimate concern about the risks associated with forcing the mentally into jails or prisons, Shane's attorney put it this way at his recent sentencing hearing:

     “The last time that I felt like this about an inmate, that inmate ended up in a medically induced coma after being brutally beaten over and over."

     Jennifer Streano. Montana Office of the Public Defender. Friday, March 22, 2019.

I have already contacted Ms. Streano in the hope that this matter will be appealed, offering my assistance as that may apply. Shane is not a personal friend of mine, that needs to be said, and my concern about this issue has nothing to do with allowing Shane to get away with anything. The fact is, Ms. Streano specifically requested that Shane be re-committed to Montana State Hospital, where- as stated above- persons affected by serious mental illness who are found guilty of criminal misconduct can be formally incarcerated there is a forensics unit. 

Jesus Rincon Murrieta, then. A twenty year old man who was similarly forced into Arizona's prison system largely on the basis of corruption at ASH. Had ASH administrators met their given obligations by simply making public the fact that Jesus was at large after escaping ASH, he would have been returned to ASH on no less then three occasions immediately prior to April Mott's death, when he had run ins with Phoenix police. They, in other words, had no idea that Jesus had recently escaped from ASH. 

It is that plain, it is that simple. It is that bad.
