When Gov. Ted Strickland approved the June 2008 closure of Dayton’s Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare on Wayne Avenue, ending a 153-year history, it was with the promise that local people with severe mental illness would still have access to state hospital care, though they’d have to go to Cincinnati to get it.
Yesterday morning I heard a provocative and informative talk at the Texas Judicial Advisory Council's biennial sentencing conference from Dr. Jennifer Skeem , who is a member of the MacArthur Research Network on Mandated Community Treatment, and Centers for Psychology and Law and Evidence-Based Corrections, on the subject of "Mental Health and Sentencing."

Dear Editor: I cannot help but wonder how sentencing Jeff Bastien to what could amount to a life sentence for mental dysfunction serves the community. While not minimizing the incidents he was involved in I feel strongly that this is what happens when Mental Issues collide with the justice system.
