60 Minutes had a horrendous story on tonight’s show of a mentally ill prisoner, in jail for shop lifting, who was chained to his bed for many hours each day and allowed to dehydrate to death by clearly negligent prison personnel. This is a shameful example of how we often abuse the mentally ill in this country. Heads should roll on this one. I don’t care if you are Osama bin Laden, nobody deserves to be treated so badly that they literally die of thirst.
