Rehabilitation?!?!

Today I found out that my psychiatrist has been re-assigned. There is absolutely no continuity here and I really believe that criminal justice system is not concerned with rehabilitation, but rather, just housing society's rejects. I do understand that it is my fault that I am here; however, those in charge of the system should believe they have a stake in the health of society, rather than perpetuating their jobs and their business.

And on top of that, the state takes 55% of all funds sent to me by family and friends to use at my discretion (to purchase the things that the prison system doesn't provide that I have to buy in the prison affiliated shop). And yet, I cannot get my dental care or my mental health attended to consistently. I have a partial (denture) and the state refuses to fix it. I am entitled to proper dental care but they always make an excuse about why they can deny me the requisite services.

Then, with respect to my mental health, they keep switching my meds and my psychiatrist. You really need to establish a bond with your mental health care provider because medication management is very difficult. So, you really need to be able to give and get timely feedback and have a practitioner that respects you and really listens to you. I had that, but now I have been assigned to someone else and that is very frustrating due to the sensitive nature of this treatment.

So my general inclination is "forget it". I'll manage on my own and get help from God and people who know and love me.
