IN CRISIS

The Houston Chronicle spent more than a year investigating how Texas treats people who are mentally ill for its series “In Crisis.” The newspaper reviewed tens of thousands of pages of court documents, police reports and state and federal investigations. The examination revealed an underfunded system with an inadequate number of psychiatric hospital beds that failed to rehabilitate the mentally ill and instead cycled them through the criminal justice system again and again.
