“We need mental institutions brought back.”
In big way!
Reagan’s Worst Moment:
Gov. Reagan signed the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act in 1967, all but ending the practice of institutionalizing patients against their will.
When deinstitutionalization began 50 years ago, California mistakenly relied on community treatment facilities, which were never built. And the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act made it virtually impossible to compel treatment prior to extreme decompensation.
Do we have enough room for all the Democrats?
We should give it a try anyway
