Sozosei Foundation Virtual Book Club Discussion of “Entangled”
Small acts with enormous consequences. Low-level offenses that can set off years of complications—snarls that tangle, untangle, and tangle again.
These are everyday experiences for many people living with chronic mental illness—people for whom care is hard to access, and for whom misdemeanor arrests and legal system involvement are the norm. Is there a way to stop this cycle?
Join scholars Michael Compton, MD, Leah Pope, Ph.D., and Amy Watson Ph.D., on May 30 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. ET for an engaging conversation about their new book, Entangled: How People With Serious Mental Illness Get Caught in Misdemeanor Systems, which explores how individuals with chronic mental illness are routinely—and needlessly—caught in America’s misdemeanor system, with little benefit to themselves or the broader public. The discussion will be moderated by Tradeoffs reporter and producer Ryan Levi.
