"Bring him back after he tries to hurt you ..."

"Bring him back after he tries to hurt you or someone else."

Award-winning author Pete Earley tells his story on the syndicated radio show Criminal Justice Forum.

Earley's new book, “Crazy: A Father’s Search Through America’s Mental Health Madness,” is a compelling recount both of the story of his own struggle to keep his own son in treatment for a severe mental illness and of his encounters with the people he met on the Miami Jail’s 9th floor, where the most severely ill prisoners are held.
