The Death Row Prisoners Suffering From Severe Mental Illness

She said "they don't know what's happening to them". Neither did their victims.

I'm a firm believer that Thou Shall Not Kill!! It's very sad when a human being murders another human being, it hits different tho, when a person harms a little one/a child definitely, but to think that person won't do harm to another person by putting them on death row doesn't mean you're killing/stopping the demon that possessed the one on death row, true enough that person will die, but guess what, that demon leaves the body and flees to another person, therefore starting the process of potentially harming another human being all over again and more being on death row!!! Imagine a world with no demons, we'd all be where Jesus Christ intended for us to be, and everyone would be just as loving and loveable!!! Ephesians 6:12 So stop the killing because if they're killing the killer, are they any better than the murderer? 💯

What happens when ignorance rules the justicesystem in USA.

Youre not doing a real investigation if you go into it with your mind already made up. Her very first question to the guy that says hes crazy was "i know youve been mentally ill for most yoyr life, what is your very first memory of knowing you're mentally ill?" Really? And of course he goes on to answer the question. Well fuk, i thought if youre truly mentally ill, you dont even know it. You think something is wrong with everyone else, or you dont think at all about it. I miss the days where people that did investigations went into it open minded. Doing all that they could to find out the truth. Investigate both sides. And show that truth to the public.

They could so easily have avoided being there.

Someone pulling their eye out and eating it definitely sounds insane.
They don’t even show things like that in movies. The worst.

There is a huge misconception that if someone is found not guilty by reason of insanity that they're free to go (and this ruling is exceedingly rare). Not the case. They are committed to a psychiatric institution in lieu of prison usually for most, if not the rest, of their lives.

How did he get his eyes back 😮

In my personal opinion, why these ppl want the inmates to look humans ? How about the ppl they hurt and they are not here because of these inmates. Laws really suck

Take your medication

I hate this happen to her, but why the hell didn't she leave her and her kids, if she red flags and get that intuition feeling to leave she should left

Just because you hear a voice in your head telling you "go and kill" it doesnt mean you have to do it.

Someone that has mental illness.They can be as normal as a normal person.The jurors don’t have a clue on mental illness any thing about what gos on in the mind.There are a few illnesses just not 1 .People are not educated on any of the mental illness.There are more and more people now then there ever was with mental illness.People are so very far behind on mental illness it’s a real shame it really is .There are a lot of people need help don’t no what to do get help.This will keep happening over and over and over and over and over again

Life with no parole imprisonment IS the death penalty. Law or no law.

These are the most manipulative liars in the country. Remember that.

This is bs

I sincerely don't get it. If they're mentally ill, how would that make their execution wrong? It's merciful. He can't help hurting other people and himself.

And they don't even have free healthcare!! Are the usa the most barbaric nation in the world??!

In EUROPA abbiamo carceri specializzarti per malati mentali e sentire il vostro docu mi si rabbrividisce la pelle voi che siete e vi fate chiamare paese supremo dovreste prenderle provvidamenti più umani

There isn’t one prison that isn’t full of mentally ill people what are they talking about

so these men killed their wives and we’re supposed to be feel bad for them?? if this were a white man, then they would not be advocating this hard for him

Thats why I believe people like this should be locked up the insane asylum. Unless they were innocent and got falsey accused, but thats a different story.

she is a wonderful journalist , taking the time to even bring awareness to the behavior of a person with mental illness also paying attention to how she interviewed the officer's and the lack of remorse or even understanding he had for the topic. behavior should not be excused but informed and understood that psychosis can occur.

We humans as a whole need to work together towards healing, nurturing, teaching the young on how precious, how short life is. We've made it to the moon took pictures of other planets, created the nuclear bomb, should be easy squeezy fixing our lives together, feed the minds with good, learning to love each other, take and use what God has given us (nature) to thrive with.

If they had mental illness while doing the crime, that can be significant and could warrant institutionalisation in a mental hospital but i don't think the US does that very often. They go by the Puritan view of good and evil.
