California’s lack of mental health infrastructure is leaving some of our neediest people on the streets or to languish in jails and prisons which simply exacerbate their conditions. James Ramsey, who had repeated issues with mental health and problematic run-ins with law enforcement, received advocacy for long-term care by the Anti-Police Terror Project for years to no avail, as a result of over-crowded social support systems. Without that material and ongoing support, James Ramsey ended up on the
