We talked about psychotropic drugs use on prisoners but what about the children? As i was researching some facts about psychotropic drugs, i saw several article about children which terrified me. This is children we are talking about and the statistics they showed are quite surprising.

Foster care children are prescribed more psychotropic drugs than any others which we can see on the chart above. Something that really surprised me is that foster care where children suppose to be taken care of and be safe but instead they are getting the harsh treatment likewise prisoners on my other blog. Which could also mean that they were treated unequally and abuse them on drugs which is way of punishing them knowing the fact that they are helpless and most of them do not really need any kind of drugs.

Quote2  This numbers above tells the story and it is increasing rapidly. So not only prisoners are getting these abuse in fact children are getting them way faster which is dangerous for all the children in this situation as they grow older may have more side affect. I think this is more serious issue than prisoners because they are getting this abuse in so early in the age and they have long way to go.

Government needs to take step to stop this abuse on the children cause it sends a dangerous message for the next generations. Media on the other hand is not bringing this issue up and this needs to be addressed. This children should have bright future ahead and we should help them instead of giving them drugs and torture them.

 

Prisoners abuse and a part of experiment

There is another world inside prison which no one would know other than prisoners and the people who controls the prison. Being a prisoner is never a good thing but it enhances that flavor when they were to put on abuse and drugs for experiment. Courtesy of Tony Hatch’s presentation in our class and this course gave me a brief idea what is really going on inside prison which i would never think about. I personally think this is one of those rare issue that people barely talk about more like colorblind racism. According to my article which i was given in class titled ” Sterilization Abuse in State Prisons” it talked about “148 female prisoners in two California institutions were sterilized between 2006 and 2010”.  I think we learned so much about prisoners and their harsh treatment inside the prison.

Tony Hatch’s presentation brought a whole new idea which was “Psychotropic drugs” which is  known as prescribed medication. Often times these are great way to keep prisoners mouth shut and and they also become part of experiment. The prescribers often put a title of mental illness and make prescribe them this drugs which makes them even worse. Prisoners in this case are helpless and no one would hear their opinion since they are controlled by prison officials and they too would not do anything. So where is the catch? The catch is money involved on everything. The more they can keep prisoners locked down the more money they will earn as a team.

In this above chart shows the different amount of psychotropic drugs use on a different settings. About 60 percent of them are used in group home or residential home which also tie to the prisoners since they are in a group in prisons.

We really need to bring these unfair treatment thats been going on for years inside the prison and no one seems to talk or bring these issues up in the media.
