A recent article in the Republic said about APS, “Numerous gaps were found in the state system of providing protection to vulnerable adults who are unable to protect themselves because of physical or mental impairment, or they are incapacitated.” “Allegations of abuse, neglect, and exploitation.” “Re-traumatized by the system intended to protect them.” Gee, that sounds like what the DOC does to its elderly, mentally ill, disabled, and incapacitated at Perryville!! The. same. exact. thing.
