CHICAGO — Anyone who needs an example of what’s wrong with the criminal justice and social service systems in Chicago should start their search with Sean Hill.
The 54-year-old, arrested by Chicago police 75 times since June 2015 and 12 times so far this year, is consistently described in CPD paperwork as having significant untreated mental health issues and hands that have been mangled by frostbite.

ReplyDeleteIf I had his record.......wait, I'd NEVER be allowed to have his record. I'd be in jail doing 7 to 20. It amazes me that they just play kick the can down the road on some criminals.
