Journalists expose deadly mental health crisis in jails
Original: How our team exposed the toll, often deadly, of a mental health crisis in jails
The Post and Courier has published an investigation by its team into how jails handle mentally ill inmates, documenting conditions and deaths the reporters describe as part of a wider crisis in correctional facilities. The project details failures in treatment and oversight behind bars, and the paper is presenting it as an exposé of a deadly, systemic problem rather than isolated incidents.
Why now: The newspaper is promoting its newly published investigative series on jail mental health care and deaths.
