Shadow Prisons & Indefinite Sentences: Taisa Mick on the Dark Reality of Civil Commitment - Best of

In this courageous episode of Civil Justice, Joshua T. Berglan interviews Taisa Carvalho Mick, a licensed Master Level Psychologist and former therapist at a state hospital. Taisa blows the whistle on the harrowing reality of "civil commitment," a system where individuals—often those who have already served their prison time or were never criminally charged—are locked away indefinitely under the guise of treatment.Taisa exposes the lack of objective criteria for release, describing a system where "finish lines" are constantly moved and residents are punished for arbitrary infractions like a messy room or looking in the wrong direction at a Walmart. She reveals the punitive policies, the "touch deficit" and isolation, and the disturbing truth that for many, the only way out is death. This conversation is a chilling look at a "shadow prison" system that strips human beings of their rights and dignity, and a call to action for accountability and true justice.Connect with The World's MayorOfficial Website: The World's Mayor - Joshua T.
