I have consistently warned about the risk of repeat offenders and our revolving door mental health crisis which is a direct result of a lack of acute, secure behavioral health infrastructure.
This terrifying image is a tragic illustration of this dangerous reality. Innocent victims constantly pay for the inaction of politicians.
Nebraska MUST identify solutions which keep the dangerously mentally ill AWAY from innocent people.
Meanwhile, Douglas County government is currently sitting on an empty, secure, brand new 64 bed “juvenile facility” at a cost of $20,000+ a month simply to maintain the vacant space. With appropriate steps, this valuable facility could be repurposed into a secure mental health facility, among many other possibilities, to KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.
It’s time for Federal, State and local leaders to WORK TOGETHER to find real SOLUTIONS.
