Hi there! I am really intrigued by your article and think you'll be able to contribute greatly. Looking over the information already present, under the section about the care of mentally ill in prisons, I think it might help to contribute information on how/if times have changed looking into the modern prison systems and see how care might have or not changed! Happy editing

Hey! Your article is on a very interesting and important topic. I think that as we discuss how mental health affects several groups, it is important to see the intersectionalities of those who suffer from mental health issues that are in prison. The article so far covers gender and race. It doesn't touch on age or class/socioeconomic background. I wonder if the intersection of poverty has a greater effect on mental health problems. Also, the section of deinstitutionalization is central to this topic. I think more can be added as to the philosophy behind deinstitutionalization. The effects are stated in that section, but what led to that movement to shift away from mental health treatment in mental facilities and move towards criminalizing it instead? Lastly, there were some court cases in the article, but maybe there can be more added as far as policies looking to change the dramatic increase of prisoners with mental health issues. Good luck! Can't wait to see what you contribute. Great article! (NansiReyes (talk) 05:18, 21 May 2019 (UTC)).
