It is also a damning account of policies that have  criminalized mental illness, shifting large numbers of people who  belong in therapeutic settings into punitive ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Christine Montross has spent her career treating the most  severely ill psychiatric patients. This expertise—the mind in  crisis—has enabled her to reckon with the human stories behind  mass incarceration. A father attempting to weigh the impossible  calculus of a plea bargain. A bright young woman whose life is  derailed by addiction. Boys in a juvenile detention facility who,  desperate for human connection, invent a way to communicate  with one another from cell to cell. Overextended doctors and  correctional officers who strive to provide care and security in  environments riddled with danger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur methods of incarceration take away not only freedom but  also selfhood and soundness of mind. In a nation where 95 percent  of all inmates are released from prison and return to our communities,  this is a practice that punishes us all.\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380297695487,"sku":"9780143110668","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143110668_s600x595.jpg?v=1775586085","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780143110668","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
