I support longer jail sentences for violent crimes.

But what I would really like to see in place is screening for mental illness among teenagers and young adults, the age when MI often develops. And we need access for treatment for those with mental illness and affordable medication.

My 23 y/o son has no income, no benefits and it is a struggle on my disability income to afford what he needs. His adderall xr generic costs $300/month and we can't afford it so he is not on meds and has no hs diploma, no job and no prospects of being able to function at a job. The free care program for mental illnesses in our area has a RN whose master's degree is in diabetes and she is not competent to treat complex mental illness.
