She's visited lots of those facilities, but what she saw in Sonoma County still came as a shock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Hadreas and several other attorneys got to what the jail calls its mental health module, they were confronted by highly delusional inmates screaming and crawling on the floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of the inmates were so disoriented and/or psychotic they were unable to converse with us,\" says the DRC team's report on the visit, made available to KQED in advance of its release Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were really struck by the fact that people were incredibly acute in their need,\" Hadreas recalled in a recent interview. “Higher than we’ve seen in units that are licensed designated hospital units. Something was wrong here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hadreas said the case of one woman in particular stood out.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'She flashed her breasts, was unable to respond appropriately to questions, yelled and cried, pounded on the door and screamed with a hoarse voice.' \u003ccite>Disability Rights California report\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Medical records showed the woman came to the jail with a long history of being hospitalized for bipolar affective disorder, “often for weeks or months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the summer of 2015, the DRC report says, the woman was confined to the jail's mental health module several times after being arrested on a series of misdemeanor charges: disturbing the peace, trespassing and “peeking” -- that last one being a peeping-tom offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite her history and the fact she was in distress, the DRC report says, at one point the woman went an entire week without being seen by mental health staff. During one stay, the woman \"tore up her cell and flooded it,\" the report says. Jail staff then turned off the water in her cell.

Because they can always come back here and we can reduce it to a misdemeanor,” she said. “There was no doubt that the state hospital treatment was better than what the jail was able to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff's Lt. Toby, who supervises the main jail’s three mental health units, said that many people charged or found guilty of misdemeanors are trapped in a kind of limbo. They are too mentally ill to stand trial and don’t improve enough to make it to trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sonoma County says things will get better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November, Sonoma County received a $40 million grant from the state to build a new wing of the jail for mentally ill inmates. The current facility is not overcrowded, but officials said that 72 new beds in the facility will provide a better place to treat mentally ill inmates and those with substance abuse problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our biggest challenge is just space to program, so that we’re not trying to talk to people through doors and things like that,” Assistant Sheriff Walker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the new unit will be used for treatment to restore inmates' competency to stand trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts on the mental health of inmates say that's not the way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DRC's Hadreas compares building new mental health treatment facilities in jails to building more on-ramps to highways: The ramps lead to more traffic on the roads, and the jail facilities lead to more mentally ill people becoming incarcerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Psychiatrist Kupers says money spent on new jail facilities would be more effectively used for programs outside the jail, such as mental health courts, diversion, therapy and even vocational programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without that additional assistance, you're setting people up to fail and fail. And I would say ending up in jail is a failure of the system,” Hadreas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy also sees a systemwide problem. He says part of the blame lies with hospitals for closing down psychiatric treatment centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think for cancer you would refuse this,\" Kennedy said. \"It's a huge problem that needs to be dealt with on a state and federal level.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hadreas agrees, saying state officials and agencies -- from Gov. Jerry Brown to the Board of State and Community Corrections, which oversees county lockups -- must find more effective ways to address mental health challenges in the jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s something that certainly the BSCC, the governor, the Department of Mental Health can look at from a higher understanding and say, ‘What’s going on here? Can we rework this money in a way that’s actually helpful for people?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Read the report:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[scribd id=312796345 key=key-82NPse3T6uqW4SkTGA5g mode=scroll]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was produced as a project for the California Data Fellowship, a program of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.centerforhealthjournalism.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Center for Health Journalism\u003c/a> at the \u003ca href=\"http://annenberg.usc.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Kupers, an East Bay psychiatrist and expert witness on the treatment of people with mental illness in jails and prisons. “The jail was not designed for treating people with mental illness. The person is in jail because they’ve been charged with a crime, and then the sheriff is stuck providing mental health services. Rarely are there adequate funds to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">S\u003c/span>onoma County correctional and behavioral health staff agree that it’s challenging to meet the needs of such a large and acutely mentally ill population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the toughest problems, they say, is getting people the treatment and medications they need.

The process includes first detaining an inmate on an involuntary 72-hour psychiatric hold, commonly known as a 5150, then getting a court's sign-off on a petition finding that the inmate is too incapacitated to grant informed consent for medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DRC report says that the Sonoma County jail's process violated the legal requirements before administering involuntary injections. The practices were \"illegal and must be stopped immediately,\" the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of the woman who was found drinking from her toilet, mental health staff at the jail involuntarily injected her seven times during a 10-week period with several strong antipsychotic drugs used to treat bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other conditions.

While the facility meets the minimum state standard for outdoor recreation time -- at least three hours a week -- the report notes that some inmates reported being released from their cells for just 30 to 45 minutes a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report calls that practice \"extreme isolation\" that can be especially harmful to mentally ill inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The document briefly describes one man with bipolar disorder who was booked into Sonoma County main jail’s mental health module after violating parole. He was moved into a “step-down” unit, one designated for inmates who are not acutely mentally ill but not ready to be reintegrated into the general population. Inmates are still isolated in single cells in the unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man repeatedly told mental health staff that the isolation was worsening his condition. In one request he wrote: “This is really not good for my mind. ... I’m overwhelmed by this, which is causing me to not sleep, to feel agitated, powerless, depressed and confused. Please help me?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mental health staff told him that he was “doing well” and with “continued good behavior” he might eventually be placed in the general population, where he would have more access to outside areas and human interaction. But, the DRC's Hadreas says, his condition only deteriorated in isolation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DRC's report notes the jail is trying to increase the amount of time inmates spend outside their cells. For instance, the jail has added low partitions to a day room in the main jail so that higher- and lower-security inmates can be released at the same time without mixing together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve spent probably close to $2 million in facility modifications so that we can improve the socialization of that particular population,” said Assistant Sheriff Randall Walker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hadreas lauded the sheriff's department's \"creative approach\" to modifying existing jail modules to help more inmates have access to time and space outside of their cells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DRC also praised the jail's placement of \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">accessible\u003c/span> cells throughout the facility, which keeps people with physical disabilities from being segregated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report commended the group therapy and anger management programs offered in the step-down units as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10953997\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RS19464_IMG_1610-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10953997 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RS19464_IMG_1610-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Lt.

And I think it’s a cultural shift here, where the stigma that may follow someone in some of the more rural counties isn’t as strong in Sonoma County.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benwell agreed that the increase was due to a growing population, and a population more used to taking medications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That might just be an antidepressant, or, you know, Benadryl, or something for anxiety,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">C\u003c/span>alifornia law requires jail officials to transfer mentally ill inmates to outside facilities for treatment when necessary. Such treatment, inside jail and out, is mandated to restore an inmate's mental capacity so they can answer to the charges against them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But records show that, even in dire cases such as the mentally incapacitated bipolar inmate who drank from her cell toilet last summer, Sonoma County rarely transfers inmates. According to state data, Sonoma County reported just one inmate per year getting inpatient care in outside facilities from 2010 to 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County jail's correctional and mental health staff say they'd prefer mentally ill inmates receive treatment outside of jail, but argue that a broken system leaves them with few options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One major problem, the county said in its response to the DRC report, is that it can find no outside psychiatric hospitals or facilities willing to treat its inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randall Walker, the assistant sheriff, says other treatment options are tough to find. He says it's very hard for someone who hasn’t been charged with a felony to get into a state hospital for treatment, and even if a state facility accepts an inmate, a transfer can take three to four months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If [we] can’t house a person safely, then we try to find those other options,” Walker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County Mental Health Services Director Mike Kennedy said that the county is doing the best it can with the resources allotted to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we're stuck with is having to do the most humane treatment that we can in settings that aren't set up to do it,\" he said. \"Most psychiatric hospitals won't accept jail inmates.

She says that except for inmates sent to state hospitals, she has never seen someone leave the Sonoma County jail for outside treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve never seen a person charged with a serious crime ever be diverted to the mental health system for the temporary purpose of getting them back to competency,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People charged with misdemeanor offenses have an even harder time getting treatment, Silver said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve actually told people, families, that have kids in the system that are just charged with misdemeanors that you need to go to the prosecutor and say that you felt your life was threatened, that you need to verbally make this into a felony so that the person gets sent to the state hospital and gets treatment. Because they can always come back here and we can reduce it to a misdemeanor,” she said. “There was no doubt that the state hospital treatment was better than what the jail was able to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff's Lt. Toby, who supervises the main jail’s three mental health units, said that many people charged or found guilty of misdemeanors are trapped in a kind of limbo. They are too mentally ill to stand trial and don’t improve enough to make it to trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sonoma County says things will get better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November, Sonoma County received a $40 million grant from the state to build a new wing of the jail for mentally ill inmates. The current facility is not overcrowded, but officials said that 72 new beds in the facility will provide a better place to treat mentally ill inmates and those with substance abuse problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our biggest challenge is just space to program, so that we’re not trying to talk to people through doors and things like that,” Assistant Sheriff Walker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the new unit will be used for treatment to restore inmates' competency to stand trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts on the mental health of inmates say that's not the way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DRC's Hadreas compares building new mental health treatment facilities in jails to building more on-ramps to highways: The ramps lead to more traffic on the roads, and the jail facilities lead to more mentally ill people becoming incarcerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Psychiatrist Kupers says money spent on new jail facilities would be more effectively used for programs outside the jail, such as mental health courts, diversion, therapy and even vocational programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without that additional assistance, you're setting people up to fail and fail. And I would say ending up in jail is a failure of the system,” Hadreas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy also sees a systemwide problem. He says part of the blame lies with hospitals for closing down psychiatric treatment centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think for cancer you would refuse this,\" Kennedy said. \"It's a huge problem that needs to be dealt with on a state and federal level.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hadreas agrees, saying state officials and agencies -- from Gov. Jerry Brown to the Board of State and Community Corrections, which oversees county lockups -- must find more effective ways to address mental health challenges in the jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s something that certainly the BSCC, the governor, the Department of Mental Health can look at from a higher understanding and say, ‘What’s going on here? Can we rework this money in a way that’s actually helpful for people?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Read the report:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ciframe\n class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\"\n src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/312796345/content?start_page=1&view_mode=&access_key=key-82NPse3T6uqW4SkTGA5g\"\n title=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/312796345\"\n data-auto-height=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"scribd_312796345\"\n width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\n \u003ca class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__scribdShortcode__scribd_footer\"\n href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/312796345\"\n target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View this document on Scribd\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Activists, through a May video (see above) and social media, have called for the community response to remain peaceful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District Attorney Jill Ravitch told reporters at a press conference in Santa Rosa that Gelhaus “fired his weapon in response to what he honestly and reasonably believed was an imminent threat of death to himself or others. As such, he was lawfully acting in defense of himself or others, and no basis for seeking criminal charges exists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an extended statement, Ravitch recounted the events that led to the Lopez shooting on Oct. 22.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those events unfolded rapidly after Gelhaus and another sheriff's deputy, on routine patrol, spotted the teenager as he walked in a residential neighborhood on the southern edge of Santa Rosa.

Gelhaus got out of the vehicle, drew his semiautomatic service weapon, and ordered Lopez to put down his weapon. Gelhaus told investigators he opened fire when Lopez began to turn toward him — firing eight shots and hitting Lopez seven times. Gelhaus's partner was assuming a firing position but did not fire any shots during the encounter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/24/sonoma-county-deputy-shot-santa-rosa-teenager-seven-times/\" target=\"_blank\">A timeline of the episode\u003c/a> released a few days after the shooting showed that just 10 seconds elapsed between the time the deputies alerted a dispatcher about a suspicious person and their call that shots had been fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/157743312&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the account she delivered today and included in a 52-page report (\u003ca href=\"#andylopezreport\">embedded below\u003c/a>).
