Mentally ill people who have contact with the criminal justice system are too often incarcerated while awaiting trial rather than sent to hospital or treatment centers. There has been a very disturbing recent trend to keep them in jail and not send them to a Hospital; they are not receiving the appropriate level of care.

It took me more than 6 months ( all the time Sulema was incarcerated in a county jail awaiting a response for his mental illness ) It was so hard to convince the Judge and the D.A. Office that Sulema is a Mental Disable person diagnosed by many doctors, including one from UCLA and another from the" Court Panel" that Sulema suffers from PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA and is at risk of experiencing relapses of agitation, paranoia , disorganized behavior and command hallucinations; Well after all that ordeal the Judge declared her " Mentally incompetent" to Stand trial and sent her to a State Mental Hospital. (Mentally ill people who have contact with the criminal justice system are too often incarcerated while awaiting trial rather than sent to hospital or treatment centers. THE CHARGE AGAINST HER INVOLVE NONVIOLENT CONDUCT she is no danger to others or self.
they want to keep them in jail and not send them to a MentalHospital they are not receiving the appropriate level of care.
It just took a couple of months to a corrupt Social Worker compromised with a also corrupt California State Hospital Doctor in declare her mentally competent and sent her back to jail again. SHE STILL IS A MENTALLY INCOMPETENT PERSON even though they say otherwise .
SHE NOW IS IN JAIL AGAIN!
for a mental disable person being in jail is like TORTURE ; being locked up make them get worst
they have to be treat in a Mental Hospital .
(It makes no sense to send non serious, non violent offenders to a place filled with hardened criminials - and still expect them to come out better than they went in.)
I spoke with her while she was in the hospital and she is not only insane but she is having a memory loss
She does not remember what happened last year some times she does not even remember her last name.
In the beginning of January the Social Worker started
threatening her with sending her back to jail only because she has pending charges in court , the social worker was mad at her because she was not learning anything about competency and because she did not want to read the book that the social worker gave her in the hospital to restore competency the Social Worker once said "did I make the book to easy for you that you do not want to read it?" she asked sulema sarcastically, the Social Worker did not like Sulema
My guess is that the Social Worker also had pressure from the D.A. office to send her back to Jail and Court as soon as possible even though SHE DID NOT GAIN COMPETENCE AT ALL
worst of all is that the P.D. (Public Defender) told me that his point of view she is competent only because she recognized him as her lawyer that's not true I can not believe it because this was the first time he met with her in court because de P.D. office had changed 4 p.d.'s in that short amount of time and he is new in the case and moreover the former p.d.'s all of them were women so he is lying ; while the DA is being solid as gold with one and only attorney the same since the beginning of this problem and the worst of all is that the PUBLIC DENFER WANTS TO GO TO TRIAL. this is so frustrating
Is for that reason that we want the help of the people in order to raise the money to HIRE A COUPLE OF PRIVATE CRIMINAL LAWYERS along with a PRIVATE PSYCHIATRY to check on her again
Sulema can not defend herself nor she can help the public dender to defend herself in court even though he said otherwise.
Sulema is unable to understand or to respond rationally to the allegation of the charge.
Sulema is unable to understand the nature of the court proceedings
