PART2: In response to your classmates, comment with attention to what ethical considerations might be relevant for the research they are conducting.
PEER RESPONSE: I chose prisons as mental health institutions. The issue being addressed is how prisons are taking over the roles of mental health institutions. This issue is important because prisons are becoming drop off zones for those with mental health issues, rather than them being taken to proper institutions.
The stakeholders would be the corrections systems and the government (state facilities). Ethical considerations would be the proper medical treatment of the mentally ill within the corrections systems, proper education of the public and the healthcare providers of mental illness, and the humane treatment of the mentally ill when incarcerated. Human Rights Activists have started to protest for the humane treatment and rehabilitation of those incarcerated and to act for mentally ill to be free of abuse and given proper healthcare when incarcerated. The issue has created an up rise with the Americans with Disabilities Act in order for prisons to start providing proper treatment while the mentally ill are incarcerated, along with the ability for rehabilitation, in order to help them recover and adapt back into society. This would also allow for safety while incarcerated and limit the time they spent in solitary confinement (for prevention of suicide, self-harm, etc.). With more knowledge about prison systems and the mentally ill available to society, the media showing how the number of mentally ill is on the rise in prisons and why utilizing a prison as a mental health facility is negative option can become more beneficial to reduce stigmas and numbers. Reporting to media on how largely the population is growing and how beneficial state hospitals really are is going to help fundamentally in the long run. According to the article, Report: Loss of Psychiatric Beds in NH, Nation is ‘Beyond Disastrous’, “New Hampshire houses some mentally ill patients at the Secure Psychiatric Unit at state prison even though they haven’t committed a crime….In a bizarre display of how thoroughly mental illness is returning to its status as a criminal condition, New Hampshire authorizes civil patients who have committed no crime to be treated inside the state’s Secure Psychiatric Unit—a prison.” (West, 2016) As far as society and media go, “Labeling someone with a mental illness has an impact on public attitudes towards [those] people, with negative effects clearly outweighing positive effects. Endorsing the stereotype of dangerousness has a strong negative effect on the way people react emotionally to someone with [mental illness] and increases the preference for social distance.” (Angermeyer & Matschinger, 2003)
