Mental Health Behind Bars: Can Accountability and Compassion Coexist?

In this episode of Rooted Thoughts, I’m sitting with the tension between responsibility and compassion as we talk about mental health in prisons.

Through a grounded, compassionate lens, this conversation examines personal responsibility, systemic failure, and what true rehabilitation could look like when care is not removed from accountability. This episode invites deeper reflection on justice, humanity, and how healing and responsibility can coexist—even behind bars.
