The Morning Brew: Epidemic ignored

Welcome to Monday. Take a deep dive into this reporting project: 

Epidemic Ignored

Have you read this series? You should. It's the culmination of months of reporting from The Oklahoman's Jaclyn Cosgrove on how our state's jails have become "de facto warehouses" for those with mental illness and substance abuse problems. We can only solve our state's gravest issues by looking those problems square in the eye. Pour your morning coffee and give the series a read.

Chapter 1: Broken system

Chapter 2: We have criminalized being mentally ill

Chapter 3: 'A history lesson'

Chapter 4: 'A call to action'
