the prison system. chicago's cut county jail holds over ten thousand inmates making it the largest jail in the united states it's also the nation's largest mental health care provider it's exploding on any given day about twenty five to thirty percent of the inmates here at the county jail suffer from some sort of severe mental illness here in the minimum security section of the jail most inmates suffer from some kind of mental health issue most of the crimes they're accused of are nonviolent drug related almost all of these inmates are on psychiatric medication a lot of antidepressants and things i.b.m. anticipate conic as well one thing out here they take part in group counseling sessions for an art therapy but resources are wearing thin and experts say many of these men diagnosed with mental health disorders simply don't belong behind bars they're under stress a court case and then again their house they give to kill is separated from friends and family in some here for the very first time which means it's really difficult to just this dorm holds three hundred eighty four beds you know one of the jail ro
