"The Injustice Committed on the Mentally Ill" On "I Take LIBERTY With My Coffee"

George Mallinckrodt's primary objective is to elevate Darren Rainey's story to the national level to expose not only what happens in Florida to the severely mentally ill, but to also begin a dialogue regarding the 20% of severely mentally ill in all prisons and jails in the U.S. June 23rd 2012 Darren Rainey was forced into a shower by officers at Dade Correctional Institution and left there, under a blistering spray of scalding water, for nearly two hours. Rainey screamed and begged to be let out of the small stall before finally collapsing in a heap, his skin peeling. Since Rainey's death, it was discovered that he and other mentally ill inmates at the prison had been tortured, beaten, starved and left to sleep in their own excrement. While Rainey's death has led to some reforms in the treatment of the mentally ill in Florida prisons, the prison system remains dangerously understaffed and rife with violence, as evidenced by recent riots and turmoil at Franklin Correctional Institution in north-central Florida. George joins me this morning to discuss the injustices on the mentally Ill in our criminal justice system and what to do to top it.
