The reason families think their children are probably safer in jail is that they cannot get access to services in the community. They believe that by going into prison, they will at least have somebody to identify whatever mental health problems their child has. These families are desperate because their sons and daughters are involved in all sorts of criminal activity, but much of it is down to their mental state. Will somebody respond to my question on solitary confinement?
