Why is this woman not in the hospital ?
She goes to the hospital and beat on the staff. Jail is where the thug need to stay

She’s actually a really nice person but she definitely needs to be in a mental institution and not jail but unfortunately that’s a lot of inmates here, it’s just joco mental institution not detention center smfh
That’s everywhere, JOCO isn’t to blame, 60%+ of inmates in state prisons receive some type of mental health treatment. But people still need to be held responsible for their actions. To normalize the behavior is to condone it.
