Ex-Prisoner to sue ENHS over mental health care in jail in UK

[Better Day 5,766]

“A woman who has been in and out of prison for 25 years is trying to become the first to publicly sue the NHS over claims of bad mental health care in jail.

Farah Damji, 54, has four convictions for 28 offences, including multiple counts of theft, fraud, stalking and breach of a restraining order, which date back to 1995.

She has spent time in eight UK prisons, following her first six-month sentence at the notorious Rikers Island jail in New York.

After years of mental ill health, a psychologist diagnosed her with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 2019.

Since 2013, the NHS has been responsible for prisoners' health care in England, which it says is "guided by the principle that those who have committed a criminal offence should be able to access equivalent medical care to civil patients".”

Disgrace, that woman should not get a penny. She was in jail for a reason.

While I’m sure there is not A+ mental health in prisons I feel like a stalker isn’t a good figurehead for the movement
