AJC Radio - Voices Behind the Wall Pt.10: Abuse of the Mentally Ill 07.19.20

The AJC Radio Hosts is joined by our Special Guests Heather Chapman, Mother of Nikko Albanese, who is mentally ill and locked up in a Florida prison and George Mallinckrodt, who has been a Psychotherapist for 22 years. He started in private practice and eventually gravitated to working in a psychiatric ward, called the Transitional Care Unit, located in the Florida state prison, known as Dade Correctional Institution

A Just Cause is currently campaigning for “FreeTheIRP6,” who are wrongly imprisoned in Florence, CO for a crime they didn’t commit. Read full story: www.freetheirp6.org.
