Crazy in America shows how people suffering from schizophrenia; bipolar disorder; clinical depression; and other serious psychological illnesses are regularly incarcerated because alternative care is not available. Once behind bars; they are frequently punished again for behavior that is psychotic; not criminal. A compelling and important examination of a shocking human rights abuse in our midst; Crazy in America is an indictment of a society that incarcerates its weakest and most vulnerable citizens — causing them to emerge sicker and more damaged.
