The Alameda County District Attorney’s office is creating a countywide coalition of mental health activists and parents to advise on mental health issues in the criminal justice system.
The collective closely follows the recent death of an Oakland U.S. Postal Service worker, Dilma Franks-Spruill. A 28-year-old man with bipolarity and schizophrenia has been arrested and accused of stabbing her to death on Jan. 11. “We want to treat people suffering with mental health issues with the care and responsible justice they deserve,” said District Attorney Pamela Price. “The creation of this commission is just the beginning in effecting change. It won’t happen overnight, but rest assured, this is a step in the right direction in providing alternatives to mass incarceration.”
