Ask HN: [Urgent] Schizophrenic brother in US jail

7 points by ajksndjkasd 5y ago ↗ HN

My brother is schizophrenic and he has allegedly broken a few laws. He's in the US. But he's not a US citizen. He might or might not have all legal papers.

He's being held in a county jail in the US. I live in Canada; the rest of the family lives in Europe.

What can I do?

Find out if there is a mental health court in the county he's being held in and see if you can get them reassigned there.
