One thought on “Mentally unwell woman in solitary confinement for almost a decade ‘an emergency situation’, Victorian judge warns”

  1. This situation is deeply concerning and highlights the urgent need for reform in how we handle mental health issues within the criminal justice system. Solitary confinement can have devastating effects on an individual’s mental well-being, especially for someone already struggling with mental health challenges. It’s essential for the system to prioritize rehabilitation and support over punishment, particularly for those who are not a danger to themselves or others. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of advocating for humane treatment and appropriate mental health care for all individuals in custody. The warning from the judge should prompt immediate action and a reevaluation of policies to protect vulnerable individuals in our legal system.
