[Harvey Rosenthal]

MENTAL HEALTH ALTERNATIVES TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

M.H.A.S.C.

 

We're Making Progress But Need Your Help to Put the Campaign to 'Boot
the SHU*' Over the Top!

With money in Governor Spitzer's budget for alternatives to solitary
confinement for prisoners with severe psychiatric disabilities 

and legislation that passed both houses last year, there's reason for
hope!

Come help us achieve a long lasting budget agreement and a new law to,
once and for all, attain treatment not torture!
