    What???

    Singletary, who had been in jail since her July 24 arrest for firing at police officers, was sent to spend the night in the library Friday after causing a disturbance in the female inmate population, McCart said. He added that she was not under suicide watch because she was on medication and recently received psychiatric treatment.

    First… why do they send someone who is being disruptive to the library to spend the night… seemingly alone? Does this smack anyone as odd?

    Second (I am not a mental health professional), but wouldn’t it make sense to have had her on suicide watch because, um, she is on medication and receiving psychiatric treatment? You don’t put people on medication and expect that to take care of the problem completely… and immediately.
