My old neighbor is schizophrenic, he would often find himself in jail. They would get him back on his meds but it wasnt where he needed to be. He needs help from someone who understands whats actually going on. I have called the police on him. I asked for a health crisis worker or to send an officer who already has had experience with this individual so they dont arrest him.

I feel for him and his family. He has to live with them because there is no where to send him for help. He can't hold down a job and can't live on his own. All the resources for people in this predicament have been taken away. So he ends up back in jail. It's a terrible cycle
