At jail, a rising tide of suicide | The Columbian
an article about a jail taking steps to be safer for folks at wits end. The Sheriff is adding on-site psychiatry and additional on-site mental health care to the mix of facility changes. This article presents some positive steps toward curbing a negative, and all too common, problem. If only for practical reasons (of risk management for the jail/county) and not for the greater reason of respect for human life, these are steps to be encouraged.
