Supreme Court Frees Safe Mental Patient from Confinement
The Supreme Court ruled that keeping a non dangerous mental patient confined without treatment is unconstitutional. Kenneth Donaldson, 67, who fought 15 years in Florida State Hospital, was not found to be a danger and may lead to mass releases from state and county facilities. Donaldson, a former Syracuse resident, challenged confinement and argued he received no treatment while housed with violent inmates. The decision sent the case back to lower courts to assess doctors good faith, delaying compensation.
