Schizophrenia.
A:
I'm sorry to hear about your son's situation. To get legal representation for him, you can start by contacting local legal aid organizations that provide assistance to individuals in prison or those with mental health issues. Organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) or the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) can offer resources and potentially connect you with attorneys experienced in handling cases of mistreatment in prisons.
Additionally, reaching out to the state bar association can help you find lawyers who specialize in civil rights, prison conditions, and mental health law. They can provide referrals to attorneys who have experience with cases involving prolonged isolation and the development of mental health conditions like schizophrenia.
You may also consider contacting advocacy groups that focus on prison reform and inmate rights. These organizations often have legal teams or can recommend attorneys who are dedicated to addressing the issues your son is facing. Ensure you gather all medical records, documentation of his isolation, and any other relevant information to present a strong case to the attorney you find.
