Jenn Ackerman - Trapped: Mental Illness in America's Prisons
A man has been singing songs at the top of his lungs for the last two days, while another, hunched on his bed, wails from under a blanket.
In a cell across the hall, a man shakes as he yells to his wife he has not seen in five years and to the thug down the street.
In reaction to the noise, another man bangs endlessly on his cell door until an officer comes by and asks him to stop.
He smiles and says he just wanted someone to talk to.
