Two alleged murderers in LA County jail take on one of the biggest problems to date: incarceration of people with mental illness. Not only is this a pressing issue within jails and prisons, the lack of treatment and support for people with mental illness is contributing to our homeless issues throughout Los Angeles and the rest of the country. "The Solution" details effective strategies and successful methods for treating and caring for the mentally challenged. It is presented as a three part-analysis on how patients (inmates) are treated, the structure under which treatment is delivered and the goal of the Mental Health Assistants who deliver the treatment. It also highlights the effort and teamwork necessary to make this treatment a success in the incarcerated environment. Finally, "The Solution" is a demonstrative guide for those who desire a successful treatment program of their own.
