Socio-Legal Center in the County of Monroe

            The Socio-Legal Center in Monroe County, New York is a corrupted organization.  It exploits the comprehension of mental illness so that it can make money and allow its employees to retain their occupation and create social reputations for its practitioners.  In addition to this, this organization attaches itself to the criminal justice system for other purposes.  Specifically, the legal practitioners have leeched onto this agency in order to retain their desired positive social reputations and to be reelected into public offices.  Once more, this has nothing to do with mental illness and helping people who come into contact with the criminal justice system. 

            There are numerous so-called professionals that have promulgated a shitty discourse of public service at this organization.  First, the medical specialists who have used this organization to retain professionalism need to be described.  That is, there are a plethora of psychiatrists and psychologists that use this organization to perform research and give recently graduated students experience.  The problem is that the experience is based on illegal practices that include forcing these residents (recently graduated medical students) to cater to the supervisors’ and legal practitioners’ desires.  Actual treatment is disregarded because of the political-legal structure that is incorporated in this organization, and mental health is dictated by people who are closely associated with this organization. 

             That is, the legal practitioners, as mentioned above, have attached themselves to this organization in order to retain a positive social reputation and community support for monetary reasons.  Explaining more, prosecutors, judges, and criminal defense attorneys use this organization to reach personally desired goals that are rooted in desired views of professionalism.  Essentially, all of these practitioners curb the actual purposes of mental health treatment in order to retain public images that allow them to financially and socially prosper.  If an example is necessary, simply look to the diversion courts, community corrections, and police practices that are involved in alleged understandings of exhibitions of mental health issues and how the people who they deliver to this organization never seem to get better or remove themselves from the legal system.  In fact, this organization is responsible for sending many people back to jail and prison because of botched treatment agendas.  Money and social reputations are the true purposes of the Socio-Legal Center, and not proper mental health services, that is.  Because of these perverted standards, this organization displays itself in a manner the requires a complete overhaul.

 

            Turning to the social workers who are affiliated with this organization, their output is the same as the legal practitioners.  Simply put, the social workers who work within this organization are conduits for the above-mentioned social reputations and engagements and to acquire insurance monies for the local and state governments.  Because of this, mental health therapy becomes turned into capitalistic and alleged educational endeavors.  That is, acquiring insurance money and providing recently graduated students with so-called experience becomes the norm and not actual therapeutic services.  Individuals who are sent to this organization automatically become science projects and utilities to acquire professional experience in other words.  Which, again, has nothing to do with mental health treatment.    

            In sum, this organization is set up to steal taxpayers’ money and to allow particular individuals to professionally prosper.  The local, state, and federal governments have ascertained a process that is based on false claims of helping individuals with mental health issues and, in turn, disguised their purposes in a manner that includes self-induced righteousness.  Given this, the civilians of the County of Monroe ought to be appalled and also question the agendas that have been presented by this author.  Basically, taxpayer dollars are being spent on corruption and poor behaviors by so-called professionals who are directly and indirectly involved in the legal system.
