Mentally Ill's Care Goes From Bad to Worse

Care for the mentally ill in Dallas has been a problem for a long time. Unfortunately, it seems to only get worse as time goes on.

The longer they sit in the jail without proper treatment, the worse they get, and the longer it takes and more difficult it is to bring them to competency.
