The following is a Frontline documentary, which will be aired on PBS, containing information of a two-year study conducted by WFAE, an NPR station in Charlotte. It is a depiction of the effects mental illness has on individuals within the criminal justice system. The film contains interviews and footage of officers, attorneys and inmates in Gaston and Cleveland County.
The goal is to bring awareness of the effects mental illness has on those incarcerated as they wait for trial or placement if found incapable to stand trial. Not only does it affect the defendants, it also has an impact on the families, as well as, officers.
Prior authorization was given by legal representation or agency approval for the individuals and locations filmed.
Take the time to watch, you will be enlightened! ... See MoreSee Less
