Ireland prisons have become a dumping ground for mentally ill patients, it's a health system they need not a prison sentence. I spent all yesterday emailing minister for justice for my own friend who has been thrown in jail as there is just no where else for her to go. It's a disgrace, it's the Irish health system that's sick...after days of radio interviews, papers etc they finally acknowledge today how bad it is.
My friend's mother was in a mental health facility since she gave birth and passed in there, now they throw her daughter in jail for similar diagnosis.
I got a reply from the minister for justice today, not much can be done with a judge ruling, but said judge simply said there was no where else to put her! Catch 22
Very sad world we live in, ashamed of my country today
