=================

The largest provider of services to the mentally ill in America is not a health care provider – it is the criminal justice system. And on any given day, Chicago's Cook County Jail is actually the largest mental health institution in the entire country.

Sheriff Tom Dart runs the facility, and he's radically changed how the system in Chicago treats the mentally ill.
