Florida Spends Millions to Teach Mentally Ill How to Appear in Court and be Convicted
allgov.com Florida’s system for preparing mentally ill defendants for criminal court is “the definition of insanity,” according to a former state Cabinet officer. Each year, the state spends at least $50 million coaching those with mental health issues on how to appear in court so that they can be deemed competent to stand trial. The cost per patient averages $53,000, according to an investigation by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and Tampa Bay Times. For this investment, the result usually is a conviction, though most nonviolent offenders never spend a day in prison. They do wind up spending weeks, sometimes months, in mental hospitals getting medicated and coached while living among violent offenders.
