Sponsored by the Milwaukee Mental Health Task Force and Milwaukee Turners.
This is the second session in a series of Zoom forums on the way that people with mental illness encounter the court system. This session will address what happens if someone with chronic mental illness is booked into jail and faces criminal charges. If charged, what happens if competency is an issue?
