21Investigates presented Part 1 of a report examining whether the criminal justice system is failing persons with mental illness.

NAMI Fort Wayne Board Member Lisa Ganaway was interviewed as part of this report. Lisa speaks from personal experience–her son was diagnosed with schizophrenia and died from sepsis in a North Carolina jail. After viewing the police body camera footage, Lisa shared that she doesn’t believe police are getting enough training when it comes to mental health.
