Died in jail or a lockup
Quincy Baker
Quincy Baker was being treated in a psychiatric ward when he was sent to the City Justice Center, a jail in Missouri, where he died. A STLtoday.com column places his death within a wider crisis in which Missouri jails are serving as de facto mental health wards. The column argues that people in psychiatric crisis are increasingly held in jail cells rather than in treatment.
