Not to mention no universal healthcare for meds or doctors, and antiquated laws making it legally impossible for parents to help kids once they turn 18. If they have profound mental health disorders or addiction problems, they are fucked.
So many stories of people caring for their child with terrible health problems/addiction, only for them to fall through the cracks once they turn 18 and can’t care for themselves. :(
Oh man. This point hits home. Imagine being desperate enough to commit a crime because you are unable to afford healthcare and inmates have better programs than the general population.
