Mental Health Court

"Jails were built to detain criminals, bad persons, who willingly and willfully (transgress) the civil and social laws… 'The mentally ill' are innocents, guilty of nothing but laboring under disease. Jailing the mentally ill makes as much sense as jailing someone for contracting tuberculosis." (Dorothea Dix, a former Boston schoolteacher who was advocating against the criminalization of the mentally ill in 1842 )
