Disability Agency Blasts Sonoma County Jail's Treatment of Mentally Ill
Today, KQED reporters Lisa Pickoff-White and Julie Small take us on a tour of Sonoma County's main detention center: the County Jail. Nearly 40 percent of the inmates there are reported to be mentally ill. According to a report released Monday, inmates were being drugged illegally -- and the jail is struggling to provide adequate care to the rising population of mentally ill. The report was published by Disability Rights California, an advocacy group.
