Just bc jails "have larger populations of folks w #mentalillness than psych prisons (AKA "hospitals")" does NOT mean that folks in either receives actual support+love.
Some of you are peddling myths & institutionalization.
Complicate these convos.

MYTHS:
Folks w #mentalillness need to be locked away from society in ANY form of prison. Note: folks in psych prisons (aka "hospitals") used to be called prisoners.
Renaming jail "mental health facility" unmakes it a prison.
Jails/institutions don't exacerbate mental illness.

Please gather your ppl if they're out here claiming that jails are "mental health facilities" OR that folks w/ #mentalillness are better off locked away in other forms of prisons.
We're dying out here trying to explain this to yall.
Transinstitutionalization is not the answer.
