  • Mary Neal What sentence did Mark Bowles receive for having an "illegal" epileptic crisis, Diana Beth? You talked to Mark and he told you about the latest brutality he endured?

  • Diana Beth He received 33 months and another 63 for a total of 99 months in St Cloud Prison. 
    His mug shots told me what happened and again, Mary Neal
  • Diana Beth The first time Stearns County Police beat him in the head when they arrested him out of his hospital bed on April 12, 2013
  • Diana Beth The second time was last Thursday, April 16, 2015 when Stearns County Sheriff's Department took him to prison
  • Diana Beth They keep beating him in the head. I'm filling criminal charges against them for both counts. My son is a vulnerable adult, Mary Neal with brain injuries and brain atrophy. They don't care.
  • Diana Beth I haven't spoken to my son, but the prison tells me that Stearns County sheriff's did this because my son wouldn't get on his knees. He has a titanium plate in his spine and a spacer where his L-1 Vertebra was shattered. He cannot get on his knees. He wouldn't be able to get up again. They took his cane away too.
  • Update on Mark Bowles, U.S. veteran, who was recently sentenced to prison for having an "illegal" epileptic crisis after enduring a trial before a court which reportedly  allowed Bowles to present NO information and evidence in his defense. The Mark Bowles case is discussed in numerous articles in this blog, including
    "Testimony by Diana Sprouse re Mark Bowles"
    http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2015/04/testimony-by-diana-sprouse-re-mark.html

  • We believe that the way Mark Bowles was and is being treated violates the U.S. Constitution, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA), the Civil Rights Act, the Convention Against Torture, and Executive Order 13107, implementing human rights treaties.

  • Diana Beth Thank you Mary Neal for doing this for my son. He called for the first time tonight and said they had slammed his face into the cement when he refused to get on his knees and wasn't walking fast enough for them earlier with his shackles cutting into his ankles. He had been in that restraint chair all day with the shackles breaking through the skin because they were so tight. I hope everyone contacts Governor Mark Dayton about this.

Thank you for giving Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill.
It would be illegal to keep a dog in a tight space 23 hours a day and gas or Taser him for barking. It would be illegal to put a dog in deadly restraint for control. That happens to mentally ill people routinely in the nation's correctional facilities. What happened to Larry Neal? Why are we still asking that question after nearly 12 years? Cover-ups regarding the wrongful deaths of mentally challenged inmates and free people in the USA are common and vile.

Mentally Ill People Deserve Dog Justice!
Mentally Ill Americans Need Dog Justice. Treat mental illness medically, not legally. Support the H.R. 3717 "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act." The U.S. congressional bill provides for crisis intervention team (CIT) training for police and corrections officers, assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs (subsistence assistance plus mandated treatment) to stop recidivism, resumption of Medicaid insurance for certain facilities, and other needed changes. Support "AIMI vs. USA" to compensate mentally ill people and their families for health discrimination.

Estate Planning for Mentally Ill or Developmentally Challenged Children

Initially published in "Legal Victories" blog at
http://LegalVictories.blogspot.com
where we highlight and celebrate legal victories
Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) seeks input from #lawyers who have advice for parents of children or adults with Autism, epilepsy, Downs syndrome, and mental illness. The time to establish trust funds and name reliable executors to their children's estates is now. AIMI does not want to write articles about these children being cruelly incarcerated for their mental illnesses and developmental disabilities weeks after their parents' demise if this could be avoided by proper planning.
If you have advice for middle class people who wish to prepare for their children with such disabilities and some with elderly parents experiencing old-age dementia, AIMI would appreciate your input. Please write or recommend articles about preparing for the continuing needs of mentally challenged relatives after one's demise. Most AIMI members are poor or middle class families, but there must be some arrangements that middle income people can make so that their mentally challenged loved ones will be less likely to experience homelessness, incarceration, or police violence after the main caretakers' deaths.
Many of the families with whom AIMI works are headed by people who are approaching middle age and worry how their grown children who have mental dysfunctions will manage after their own demise. Every day, young couples give birth to children who have Down syndrome or who develop Autism or some other impairment. Estate planning for these families is of the utmost importance. Do you have advice and provide services for them, lawyers?

Attorneys who wish to advertise with AIMI should email Mary Neal, AIMI's director at the addresses below. Reasonable rates apply. Potential clients need criminal lawyers and civil rights attorneys as well as estate lawyers. Your legal services will be featured and run indefinitely at "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" articles http://DogJusticeforMentallyIll.blogspot.com and will be mentioned during our "Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill" and/or our "Human Rights Demand" radio broadcasts. I would welcome interviewing an estate law firm about preparing for sick and disabled people when mom and dad are no longer with them.


Families with mentally ill members sometimes win lawsuits related to police overuse of force incidents, prisoner torture, and other adversities that are prone to happen disproportionately to people with psychiatric impairments. Up to 100 mentally ill people and/or their families who join "AIMI vs. USA" expect to be financially compensated through a lawsuit in International Court for a range of infractions against their persons, including wrongful deaths. Estate planning advice will be needed for these claimants. http://AIMI-HumanRights.blogspot.com

Your advertising in Dog Justice for Mentally Ill would be appreciated. Otherwise, feel free to comment below without cost to recommended an article, or recommend your own law firm or insurance company to help people with needs that are peculiar to families with mentally ill members and dependents with developmental disabilities. AIMI's main objective is getting such families the information that they need. Thank you in advance for your help making Legal Victories possible for families with such challenges.

Email the WSJ for Medicaid Resumption

Washington announced that public comments are being accepted until June 9, 2015, regarding the resumption of Medicaid for mental health treatment. Medicaid was withdrawn as insurance for psychiatric inpatients in the 1970's, which resulted in today's catastrophic rate of incarceration for people with mental illness. 

Please send an email to Stephanie.Armour@wsj.com to say you want Medicaid resumed for psychiatric inpatients and outpatients in the USA.

Read the article, "Obama Administration Proposes Rules for Medicaid Mental Health Parity"
http://www.wsj.com/articles/obama-administration-proposes-rules-for-medicaid-mental-health-parity-1428362172

See also the email and article I sent to Ms. Armour at "Am I a Bad Person" in this "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" blog, which was updated April 2015.
