Magistrate warns welfare changes may raise domestic violence
Raleigh County Magistrate Mary Jennings warns welfare reform pressures could boost domestic violence as recipients face job searches and limited benefits. She notes housing, child care, and transportation gaps, added debt, and mental health strains may trigger more crises and property crimes in southern West Virginia. She cites court shifts toward investigations and fewer jail detentions, plus systemic jails overcrowding and uncertain solutions.

The Bell That Shaped The Mental Health Movement
In 1950 leaders of the National Mental Health Association chose a bell as a symbol of freedom for the movement. Restraints gathered from U S mental hospitals were melted into a 300 pound bell cast in Baltimore. The bell bears the inscription Cast from shackles which bound them this bell shall ring out hope for the mentally ill.
