Attention: Janet Lyness
Attention Janet Lyness:(10.7.1) NAMI believes that persons who have committed offenses due to states of mind or behavior caused by a serious mental illness do not belong in penal or correctional institutions. Such persons require treatment, not punishment. A prison or jail is never an optimal therapeutic setting.(10.7.2) NAMI support s a variety of approaches to diverting individuals from unnecessary incarceration into appropriate treatment, including pre-booking (police-based) diversion, post-booking (court-based) diversion, alternative sentencing programs, and post-adjudication diversion (conditional release).Why do you and Beth Beglin continue to punish Daniel S. Jason with charges fit for murderers.
