On the show "Frontline," PBS, Tuesday May 10:
PBS explores the question, Are America's jails and prisons the new asylums? Nearly 500,000 mentally ill persons are currently incarcerated and corrections personnel are typically unprepared to handle the unique needs of this population. Frontline took cameras inside Ohio's prison system for what they promise is a rare look at the mental health-criminal justice issue. Should be very interesting.
