As we wait for the verdict from Sandy’s evidentiary hearing, we’re releasing a never-before-heard interview with lawyer and professor Sean O’Brien. In this episode Sean gives us first-hand information on the systems responsible for placing those struggling with mental illness in the prison system. We look at common issues— like police officers mistaking mental health symptoms for signs of guilt —  and ask Sean how we can reform these systems.
