Although court-supervised treatment is new, “In an oft-cited evaluation of four mental health courts in California, Minneapolis and Indianapolis, 49% of participants were rearrested after 18 months, compared to 58% of mentally ill defendants in the conventional justice system [...] seeing nearly half of program participants rearrested might not seem like a resounding success” (Glazer 247) It has made some progress; there are still some kinks to work out. Just as Albany co-author Allison Redlich, an associate professor of criminal justice at the State University of New York, states, "This population has earned itself the name 'frequent fliers.' , [due to the frequency of their arrests, [ so any kind of reduction can be a success. [...] Trying to understand how and for whom they work is where we should focus our efforts” (qtd. in Glazer 247). We have about fifty-five years of mental illness problems, the current solutions for the mentally ill in prisons are nothing more than an easy escape from the deepening of our rotten penal system.
