Research on Mental Illness in the Prisons

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

My friend is doing research on mental illness and how it is handled in the prisons/jails. I figure if you know someone or are someone that has mental illness and were/are in jail, you might respond to this and help her out. The questions she is trying to answer are:

  1. Did you have access to your meds when you needed them?
  2. How did you feel you were treated by staff?
  3. Were you asked if you had a mental health issue, and if so, were you placed in special housing?

Come on. This is an easy one to respond to and you can help her get a good grade. BTW, I have received many questions from you all, about getting your meds while going to Tent City. I know some of you can respond to her questions and help her out.

Thanks!

Your Tent Experience

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

I spent time in the tents and I put the experience and all the helpful info I could on the DVD at www.tentcityaz.com. When people sent me some more good tent survival info I put it on the website page called ‘more info’. However, it just wasn’t interactive. So… (trumpets sound) I am no longer going to use the ‘more info’ web page to add your comments. This is the post for you to update with your tips, hints, helpful information. Any experience that you can add to help others would be appreciated. So blog away friends!
