1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Stephen Eide&amp;nbsp;joins City Journal associate editor&amp;nbsp;Seth Barron&amp;nbsp;to discuss how America's health-care system fails the mentally ill, and the steps that cities and states are taking to keep the mentally ill out of jail and&amp;nbsp;get them&amp;nbsp;into treatment. Urban areas have seen a disturbing rise in street disorder and homelessness over the last decade. Unfortunately,&amp;nbsp;many of the street homeless&amp;nbsp;suffer from serious&amp;nbsp;mental illnesses,&amp;nbsp;such as&amp;nbsp;schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Despite&amp;nbsp;federalspending&amp;nbsp;of about&amp;nbsp;$150 billion annually on mental illness programs, individuals with the most severe diagnoses areoften&amp;nbsp;thrown into a&amp;nbsp;repeating&amp;nbsp;cycle of jail stays, homelessness, and hospitalizations. In response, many states and cities are developing&amp;nbsp;their own methods to keep the&amp;nbsp;severely&amp;nbsp;mentally ill out of jail.Launched in 2000,&amp;nbsp;Miami-Dade County's Criminal Mental Health Project is one of the nation's most admired&amp;nbsp;and successful of these programs.
