The death of a teenage girl found in a driveway in a quiet San Francisco neighborhood was a mystery that shocked the city. But even before local authorities examined her body, Jázmin’s mother knew the underlying cause. Severe mental illness had ravaged Jázmin for the last two years of her life. Depression and trauma from early childhood drove Jázmin to self-medicate, run away and intentionally hurt herself. She was repeatedly detained in locked psychiatric hospitals operated by for-profit companies. These facilities are intended to stabilize children and adults in mental health crises while keeping them safe. But rather than help, they subjected Jázmin to chaotic conditions and deficient care.

Behind locked doors, the results are devastating. Read the investigation: https://trib.al/eABz25H
