"We want to keep the incarcerated safe. We want to get them the right medication in jail or prison. We want to be able to connect with that person to let them know that there are people who care about their outcome, because suicide is so prevalent here. In Arizona, our prisons have more than double the national average of suicide rates.  In our work, we include both mental illness and addictions, and we push for treatment of those issues.  We give support and mentoring to the family."  Mary Lou Brncik
