YouTube Description

Follow us on Twitter where we'll announce this week's topic for On The Line

Danny Gold joined 'On the Line' to discuss his new piece on America’s mental health care crisis, "InstitutionalizedMental Health Behind Bars"

America’s relationship with its mentally ill population continues to suffer as a result of inadequacies in the country’s mental health care system.

For the mentally ill in Chicago, the effects of this inadequacy are felt on a magnified scale, as budget cuts and a lack of community-based mental health resources have left these individuals with minimal support. More often than not, this means being repeatedly swept up into the criminal justice system for low-level, non-violent crimes

Danny Gold traveled to Chicago for VICE News, to speak with community members on Chicago's south side, and get a first-hand look inside Cook County Jail.
