This is heartbreaking and infuriating. See how they give people little to no mental health care in prison? What an absolute joke the justice system is…

Actually, I’m pretty sure our darling JLR is responsible for this. Language and writing seem pretty familiar.

Seriously? I’ve heard no mention on JLR in any of the news I’ve read. Wouldn’t be surprised, though…

I checked his facebook after I posted this. He posted the article and said something like “JLR strikes again!”. Later on though, he wrote saying he wouldn’t be surprised if he got blamed for it.

An Exonerated Former Death Row Inmate Confronts Hillary Clinton’s Death Penalty Stance

The most powerful moment of the evening came from an innocent man who lost four decades of his life.

Look at her face. She looks like he’s such an inconvenience 

^That’s what I thought. Makes me dislike her a lil bit.

Yesterday I  attended  a Suicide Prevention Training workshop at Grendon Underwood Prison.

 The Prison itself is small, only holding some 238 male inmates, each with their own cell. The prison is run differently to normal institutions - the focus being on psychological care and recovery. Inmates have to apply to be housed there, and need to actively and continuously demonstrate their desire to recover. Any incidents of violence, drug taking or rule breaking results in the inmate being permanently transferred out of the facility. Inmates are referred to as “residents”, and the words inmates, prisoners etc are prohibited. Residents are also referred to on a first name basis. Myself and several other trainees spent the entire day with the residents who attended, and learned how to identify suicidal behaviour along side them. I spoke to a few residents who told me they wanted to learn more about dealing with suicide to enable them to support their fellow residents.  They also spoke a bit about the impact that other’s suicide attempts had on them. A couple had cleaned up blood from various attempts and expressed the distress that this had caused them and their need for support afterwards.  I spoke with 2 inmates at length, both whom were there on murder charges, and both were open, polite and a pleasure to interact with. I’m not going to detail their lives, crimes or conditions but it was extremely eye opening. I went in thinking I could not meet anyone who would shock me, and I couldn’t have been more wrong, not because of their crimes, but because of their openness, friendliness, contrition and insight.   The prison holds visitor evenings and I would encourage any of you whom are able to attend to do so, you will get as much out of it as the inmates, or maybe even more. 

Wow... that sounds like an awesome experience. It’s very cool you went there and that you got to do that :)

I’m in here, we’re all in here. I like how they never mention that we follow up with news regarding the victims, and post things about mental illness.

They never will write about the good stuff. How random to write this article out the blue tho. I wondered why I was getting loads of UK visits lately.

These dumb pieces of shit just can’t quit. That shit about slurpees and plaid are years fucking old. We’re gonna be in our fucking nursing homes and tottering on our fucking walkers and these goddamn baboons are still gonna be writing about teenagers and holmie prom. Unoriginal plagiarist stupid ass fucks.

I left a comment. Dunno how long it will last.

Ah, yes... a chimp posing as a journalist plagiarizes a dozen similar articles on a slow news day with a few copy-and-paste updates and calls it good. Meanwhile, the imbeciles eat up this turd of an article and call it delicious and believable. Honorable mention goes to the moron using this as a medium to froth at the mouth about his political enemies. A good time was had by all.

JLR would like me to tell all the Holmies about his FB page and asked you all to add him. Just an FYI 😉

You know him?

I gave up on my fb boycott last week sometime. I added him. 

Got to hang out with the super rad @spundylox for the Jimmy tour! We also lurked around Columbine and made a lot of terrible jokes💕🙌

jealousy!

The Spundy tour is the best tour.

GREAT NEWS! Romechia Simms (Ji'Are Lee’s mom) was found not criminally responsible by a court appointed psychologist! While Romechia will get the help she needs, her mom still needs help passing Ji'Are’s law, so PLEASE sign this petition to fund treatment for people with SMI in Maryland (or donate). This is SUPER important, so please sign/donate and share!

Pope Francis calls for one-year moratorium on death penalty (via 119-roc)

The fact that neurotypicals need a book on “How to Love Someone With [Insert Mental Illness Here]” speaks volumes

I mean I don’t understand how we can get upset that neurotypicals don’t understand us and supposedly don’t have the capacity to love us but criticize them when they attempt to understand. A relationship is a serious thing, especially if you’re low-functioning like me, and what I think everyone reblogging this fails to understand is that “how to love” isn’t literally “how to see this person as a human being.” These books often give pointers on how to help your partner during an episode, how to make a relationship last through constant inpatient, how to reconcile the fact that it might not get better, and when to potentially seek therapy for oneself. I think we need to stop pretending that our mental illnesses don’t affect others, and while we are of course the priority, if you can’t sympathize with your own partner or family member for struggling with it also, then maybe you’re simply not mature enough for a relationship.
