Criminal justice reform for the mentally ill is needed now (feat. Danielle)

Danielle is a regular Super Feeler who suddenly disappeared for 9
months. We were worried about her safety, having no success at
reaching out. Until 9 months later when Laurie got a DM on
instagram saying "if you ever want to record an episode about
what it's like to have BPD in jail let me know". And so this
episode was obviously recorded asap. 


In this episode Danielle bravely shares her story of what it was
like to go through the criminal justice system with borderline
personality disorder. She shares about the lack of medical
autonomy and privacy she faced and how she started running mini
DBT classes in jail to support others like her. (aka Super
Feelers: Incarcerated Edition). 


This episode has a number of triggers including: medical harm,
systemic discrimination, overdose, and solitary confinement.


Also please excuse the issues with audio quality - Laurie was on
vacation and turns out her internet was really bad...
 

*** quick fact checking note: around the 19 minute mark Danielle
says she's talking about the 14th amendment but it's actually the
13th amendment. Sorry about that!
