On The Line: Danny Gold Discusses Chicago's Mental Health Crisis (2015x62)
Data di messa in onda: Apr 13, 2015
America’s relationship with its mentally ill population continues to suffer as a result of inadequacies in the country’s mental health care system. For the mentally ill in Chicago, the effects of this inadequacy are felt on a magnified scale, as budget cuts and a lack of community-based mental health resources have left these individuals with minimal support.

Danny Gold traveled to Chicago for VICE News, to speak with community members on Chicago's south side, and get a first-hand look inside Cook County Jail.
