  • 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.

Wrongful Conviction of Mark Bowles



Diana Sprouse sent us an urgent message: "He slit his throat!" Her son, Mark Bowles, is on his way now to the hospital. He was convicted by a jury yesterday that was denied hearing any defense Mark could have given for allegedly assaulting a nurse in his hospital room. Actually, he frightened the nurse in St. Cloud Hospital who fell and bumped her own head. Mark did not touch her. The veteran had an epileptic crisis after coming out of a coma caused by a traumatic brain injury he suffered while fighting off a jail inmate who wanted to rape him. The jury was allowed to know none of this. All defenses related to Mark's diminished capacity were reportedly squashed by Judge Frank Kundrat. The jury reportedly sent questions to the court, including: 1) Was Mark Bowles mentally ill? 2) Was Mark Bowles on medication that may have contributed to his offenses? The answer for both questions was yes, but the judge refused to allow answers for the jury questions.

The USA presently has more than 1.25 million mentally ill inmates. The wrongful conviction of Mark Bowles, a U.S. veteran and epileptic patient, helps explain how it happened.

APPARENTLY, AMERICAN MEN HAVE NO PROTECTED RIGHT TO REFUSE GAY SEX. Mark Bowles was in the hospital recovering after a coma caused by traumatic brain injuries allegedly delivered by an inmate in Anoka County Jail who was enraged when Mark resisted rape. The jury was not allowed to hear about that either. (See their photographs above.) Read and hear the entire story (with a radio interview) at "Mark Bowles: Prosecuted for Epileptic Seizures"
http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2014/06/mark-bowles-prosecuted-for-epileptic.html

MORE BREAKING NEWS: Diana reports that 20 psychiatric inpatient facilities have refused to admit Mark after speaking with Stearns County Judge Frank Kundrat, because of Mark's recent convictions of felony assaults on medical staff at St Cloud Hospital. Obviously the judge wants Mark to have no option except jail. (Pennsylvania judges who wrongly sentenced children to their friends private prison facilities in exchange for a substantial "finder's fee" come to mind.)

Mentally Ill Americans Need Dog Justice. Treat mental illness medically, not legally. Please advocate for Congress to pass H.R.3717 - Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act. Try to elect people who support human rights and justice for all, not prison profits by criminalizing brain disorders. Note how representatives support this bill, and ask candidates whether they support it.
