Abstract:
Durham’s Kenneth Maready is facing a fifty-year sentence for killing a woman while driving under the influence. Maready’s story highlights the need for mental health services, but the inability of the poor to pay for them. Prison is often the only resort for people who suffer from mental illness and the only place they can receive limited treatment. Maready discusses his history of mental illness, substance abuse, suicide attempts, family life, and prison sentences.
