SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Three jail inmates have filed a class-action lawsuit over delays in getting treatment to restore their mental competency.
The Sioux Falls Argus Leader reported Tuesday that the inmates — Juan Alvarez, Aubrey Archambeau and Joseph Baker — filed the lawsuit against the South Dakota Human Services Center in federal court last week.
They contend they’ve been ordered to go to the center to restore their mental competency earlier this year but they still haven’t been sent to the facility and remain in jail.
The state Department of Social Services didn’t respond to the newspaper’s request for comment on the lawsuit.
The center is the state’s public mental health hospital. It’s been suffering from chronic staffing shortages that have limited the number of patients it can accept. State lawmakers formed a committee this past year to review mental health services and consider changes to the system. They could introduce legislation on the issue during the next session.
National Suicide Prevention Week runs from Sep 5, 2021 – Sat, Sep 11, 2021. To honor those who have succumbed to depression or mental health issues and felt there was no other way out, CEE Brown releases a powerful new song and accompanying music video, "Suicide Lullaby."
If you are having suicidal thoughts please reach out to someone right away. Call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 800-273-8255, or go to a hospital immediately.
The coronavirus outbreak that’s shuttered commerce across China will likely become a global pandemic, a top U.S. health official said Tuesday, adding that it’s just a matter of time before the outbreak starts to spread in the U.S.
“Current global circumstances suggest it’s likely this virus will cause a pandemic,” Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told reporters at a news briefing.
The virus, which has now infected more than 80,200 and killed at least 2,704 people, has spread rapidly over the past week through South Korea, Iran and Italy. The localized outbreaks outside of China have fueled concerns among infectious disease experts and scientists that the virus is spreading too quickly and may be past the point of containment.
“It’s not so much a question of if this will happen any more, but rather more a question of when this will happen and how many people in this country will become infected and how many of those will develop severe or more complicated disease,” she added.
There are now 57 confirmed cases of the virus in the U.S., Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Tuesday. A majority of those cases came from passengers repatriated from the Diamond Princess cruise ship that was quarantined off the coast of Japan. CDC data shows that 40 of the cases are attributed to the cruise ship, four of which were announced Tuesday. Three patients were infected in Wuhan and later evacuated to the U.S., and the rest were largely infected while traveling overseas.
“We can’t hermetically seal off the United States,” Azar said.
There is a “defined playbook” for how the government would respond to any potential community spread in the U.S., Azar said, adding that Americans “shouldn’t panic when they see new cases.”
“It is very dangerous to make predictions with a virus, especially a novel virus,” Azar said. “But we have tools to deal with it that are reasonable, titrated and don’t excessively interfere either with the economy or individuals lives, necessarily.”
While COVID-19 is contained in the U.S. so far, CDC officials said earlier Tuesday that the public needs to prepare for an eventual outbreak here. Schuchat echoed those comments.
“We must use this time to continue to prepare for the event of community transmission in the United States,” Schuchat said. “Part of that preparation is educating the public and our state, local and private sector partners about what transition from aggressive containment measures to community measures or community mitigation would look like should we end up there.”

Depression. We here about it...we say people act out its characteristics...we in general...ignore it. But it is a huge issue in the world. Many suffer from it. It affects their everyday living and the everyday living of those around them. It has been deemed so normal to feel "depressed", that many don't even realize they have depression, and try their best to function in a normal evreyday setting. Often questioning what is wrong with them,...often blaming them self for everything,...and in many tragic incidents, it has led to suicide. It doesn't see gender, race, religion or age. And often goes unnoticed.
It is really because of that it is such a touchy subject. Especially in the music industry. It is described and spoken of in just about any genre. many "classic" songs were made about depression of the artist and thoughts of ending it all. But few touch the actual struggles of depression. The cause of, or the battle of living with it. Enter Mirko....
I will start off by saying everything about this musical presentation is simply AMAZING. A hot hiphop beat, and a thorough lyricist delivering bar after melodic bar of subject as well as substance. And why is this artist a perfect candidate to take the front line in recognizing this disease so many struggle with? His mom.
Mirko is the child of a Mother who suffers from depression. Mirko has seen first hands the battles from within, that some who have fought this beast, can almost compare to the religious tales of the war with right and wrong. Depression is more than a weight on a persons shoulders. It is an actual mountain. And for many...the only way they make it through, is the love and support of family.
So the sincere reality is there when checking out his new video release "Mom." Mirko speaks on the pain of watching her go through it all. And how he always was and always will be a son who loves his mother, as a system of complete support on her darkest days. While spinning his story to us, he reminds the rest of us to be the same for our loved ones. Because sometimes just saying you care, can be all the difference in this persons war today.
The video itself is a piece cinematic excellence. Smooth steady shots, and vivid color grading only adds to the energy of hope Mirko was creating with this master piece. I'm of the things I enjoyed personally, was the continual statistics that popped up through the video. It was almost like a dope hip hop version of those late night infomercials you see. Either way, whatever it was, I was sold.
