Trapped: Mentally Ill Persons in Our Nation’s Prisons
In the 1960s, there was a dramatic push to reduce the number of mental health patients in large public psychiatric hospitals, shifting their care to local communities. However, those communities were ill-prepared to provide treatment for them, and they ended up being left or abandoned on the streets to fend for themselves.
Presently, increasingly large numbers of mentally ill persons have ended up trapped as inmates in our country’s prisons and jails, rather than receiving treatment in mental health facilities.
This article includes a number of dramatic photographs of mentally ill persons who are presently trapped in prison, as well as an absolutely chilling documentary that provides a look at the unbearable experiences that the mentally ill endure inside the prison walls.
You will remember this. In the 1960s, there was a dramatic push to reduce the number of mental health patients in large public psychiatric hospitals, shifting... more -

Girl in Green
She is waiting in line for her monthly food ration...she is only ten years old.
With 40% of the population under poverty line, Iran is ranked 27th on the 'list of countries by percentage of population living in poverty' and more and more underprivileged individuals in Iran are turning to private nonprofit charity organizations for help.
Due to the number of people in need, most charity organizations can only afford to give each person less than ten dollars a month, along with some rice and vegetable oil.
What adds to the problem is the number of orphans who rely on these charity organizations as their only source of income and food. Sometimes these young boys and girls, such as the girl in this documentary, also have to find a way to feed their younger siblings. She is waiting in line for her monthly food ration...she is only ten years old. ... more -
