If you think mentally ill people should not be placed in a prison for Psychiatric reports please comment.

I was remanded in prison for Psychiatric reports for smashing up my flat. In prison I did not recieve any Psychiatric treatment so I went on hunger strike and I was eventually given bail. Psychiatric and Probation reports where made and I recieved a conditional discharge.
The reports went into great detail about how disturbed I was and what treatment I needed, however it also said it was unavaileble. The local mental health service recomended I would be better treated down the night shelter.
On the posative side I recieved an extra two Psychiatric labels to the one I already have so the DHSS will leave me alone. However I wrote a letter to the Department for Health witch you can view on the bottem link.

This posting was removed as it is not a news story - please see our editorial guidelines. Personally i think there must be better discussion forums for this to be talked about than this site.
