Well, I really, really respected that the head of that company, Brad McLean, was willing to talk with me.

And I thought he made some really important arguments about the fact that he does seem to believe that it's important that people get mental health care in their communities first before they're even sent to jail and that they provide it once they're in jail and actually have the resources to do so. I think what's devastating is that it's just hard to look at so many instances where this

did happen, again, not just with NAFCARE, but also many other companies. And also some counties that didn't privatize also had these deaths. And so it's sometimes hard to figure out how to bridge the disconnect between the rhetoric around the care we as a society want to provide and the rhetoric many of these corporations say they are committed to providing and then

I'm seeing these outcomes in what I recognize is a very, very, very hard environment in which to do this work, because, again, I think that's the fundamental core problem here is the wrong decision to be criminalizing people for their mental health issues and keeping them detained far too long pretrial.

Because, again, the record-keeping is so bad to begin with on this type of death, I think we don't really have clear data on that. But I think what we do know is that a wealth-based detention system fundamentally ends up discriminating against people not on the basis of anything other than their wealth.

And so in assessing whether someone should be locked up for so long, I mean, we're also just paying a tremendous amount of the society to lock people up for their mental health issues and again, on things that judges, once the people get their day in court, often wind up dismissing or giving a lesser charge to anyway.

So I think if we could find other systems, even at the front end for dealing with police calls, I mean, I think one thing that's being explored very productively is that the alternative to locking someone up in such an instance could be having a mental health team arrive and instead of armed officers who are not
