I loved working with the patients. I didn't like what I was seeing being done to them, but I loved working with the people that were incarcerated there. And I really enjoyed this. I don't know. I don't know. It's so hard to say. I knew that I would be working within this field. So I would never switch to another field and work with me, children or families. I knew it was going to be in this field.

And that's why when I was looking for another job, I applied to this job because I wasn't going to just leave Rikers and go work as just a therapist somewhere in an outpatient clinic. I knew that I wanted to work within the criminal legal system, but I love all parts of it.

Certain laws that we're trying to pass, I think we have a good chance of it. I've been a part of it. These laws have been tried to be changed for years. But I think definitely me coming out and my story has made an impact and hopefully will help the law to become law. It's not just because of me, like there's been advocates who have been working on this for a long time. But

I think me sharing my story will help because I do talk about how there is no mental health treatment in a jail. And that's why we need to invest the money that we are investing in jails into mental health treatment. But those things take time. Immediate impact that I had, like I said, just having those individuals not be locked in and then being investigated.

The investigation is also going to take a long time. So that has definitely made an impact. But all the other things that I am working on is going to take time.

But I'm happy to be a part of it. We're also working, me and some other advocates are working to pass a bill that would mandate all healthcare professionals to report any abuse that they see. And I think that would be amazing when that bill gets passed, because I remember... working on Rikers, there was no agency that I could call to report what I'm seeing.

And I was very shocked by that because I worked in outpatient, we would call the justice center. And I was so surprised, like we're mandated reporters and we see people being abused and like, we don't call anyone. So they investigate. I'm a part of that effort.
