Welcome

This site is to collect information to assist the families and friends of mentally ill /mentally challenged inmates in Lee County Florida. Contact with the writers of recent articles such as “Keeping the Mentally Ill out of Jail” (Burton, 2009) brought referrals to the numerous agencies currently working in the difficult and overwhelming field of providing medical care to thousands of inmates. This comes as research and review of Lee County contracts, regulatory policies, and applicable news feeds to administrative policies to bring awareness and understanding of state-specific requirements and policies for the Lee County / Prison Health Services.

Barack Obama - AmericansforPrisonReform Group

Almost two thirds of the prisoners released each year in our country are arrested again within three years. It is in everyone's best interest to rehabilitate those serving time in our prisons, but our criminal justice system fails to prepare them for their return to society. In fact, our prisons are more likely to produce hardened criminals. Obama plans to create a prison-to-work incentive program, which is a good start to solving this serious problem. This group is for those who support criminal justice system reform, including the programs Obama will work to implement as president. http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/AmericansforPrisonReform
