    Dart recalled the push to get the mentally ill out of institutions in the 1960s. But the community systems that were supposed to care for them either werenâ(TM)t set up or were underfunded, he said.

    âoeThe result is an unmitigated disaster,â he said. âoeWe are criminalizing mental Illness. I see it every day.â He said of the 10,000 people housed daily in the Cook County Jail, about 2,800 âoeare taking serious psychotropic medications.â

    Dart said that mentally ill people in the jail often are released back on the street with no housing and no treatment.

    âoeThere should be a system for this, and we need to push providers to get more of a thoughtful pattern on how we release people,â he said.

    Dart said his office is working with Cook County mental health providers to develop profiles of those arrested and develop a continuum of care. He said a support group for family members also has been started.

    âoeWe have to be prepared, come up with strategies and keep the decibel level up on this issue,â Dart said.

    Sangamon County Stateâ(TM)s Attorney John Milhiser said the key is communication between law enforcement and mental health professionals.

    âoeWhat do we do with them?â he said of the mentally ill. âoeWe have to protect the public and make sure they get the treatment they need and stay on their medication.â

    He said mentally ill inmates âoeare a drain on the jail,â but often there is no other alternative.

    Maybe we can use a large sphere or ring shaped device made up of a super strong magnetic metal that can create its own gravity field.

    With this device we may be able to travel at the speed of light to the sun!

    In fact, if we increase the magnetic s of this device and focus it on another "sphere" or ring device, maybe we can travel faster than the speed of light! We could have instantaneous travel!

    Wow. Somebody should make a movie or tv show about this. We could call it Sphere Gate or The Ring .
