Descrição: A few weeks ago in Washington, D.C., the American Psychiatric Association Foundation, the National Association of Counties, and the Council of State Governments sponsored a conference inspired by Judge Leifman, called "The Stepping Up Initiative," bringing together representatives from fifty counties around the country to share best practices to deal with the burgeoning cost and pain of the mentally ill caught in county jails. The Murphy-Johnson bill faces opposition from both Democrats and Republicans-with many Democrats resistant to anything that impinges on the civil liberties of the mentally ill, even if they are deeply psychotic or don't recognize their illnesses, and many RepubAt licans resistant to spending any money through the federal government, despite evidence that the money spent on effective treatment, including wraparound services and providing beds, along with alternative treatments to imprisonment for those caught up in the criminal justice system, can actually save money as it saves lives and heartache.
