People released from incarceration are 42X more likely to die from overdose in the 2 weeks following their release when compared to the general population. Visit treatmentnotjail.com/take-action to urge our legislators to PASS @TNJAct to do something about this & SAVE LIVES

83% of people in NY prisons have a substance use disorder yet 3/4 receive no treatment while incarcerated. This system only exacerbates underlying root causes. Visit treatmentnotjail.com/take-action to urge our gov to PASS TNJ to end the cruel & senseless revolving door of incarceration.

Rikers Island is the largest mental healthcare provider in the state & by far the most expensive. It costs taxpayers $556,539 to incarcerate 1 person in NYC Jails/year for a total $1.3B annually. Imagine investing that $$ in support instead of punishment: treatmentnotjail.com/take-action

Less than 1 in 5 of the ~50% of individuals w/mental health issues at Rikers receive any sort treatment in jail. Meanwhile studies show that incarceration exacerbates mental health problems. Imagine investing our $$ on a mental health system that works: treatmentnotjail.com/take-action

It's Mental Health Awareness Month & today advocates are traveling to Albany from all over NY to demand passage of @TNJAct. For decades NY has funneled those w/mental health needs into our jails/prisons. It's abhorrent and it has got to change. We need #TreatmentNotJail TODAY

🚨HAPPENING NOW🚨: We’re in Albany to demand #TreatmentNotJail! For decades, NY has relied on jails & prisons to take care of NYers with mental health and substance use issues. It not only doesn’t work, it makes people worse, and all of us less safe. Time to pass the @TNJAct now
