"Fractured" Documentary Screening and Discussion: Join Academy for Justice, WFAE, PBS FRONTLINE and Firelight Media for the screening of the “Fractured” documentary. The film examines the plight of North Carolina defendants living with
serious mental illness who are incompetent to stand trial. They can wait in jail for over a year to get the
care they need just so their cases can move forward. A conversation about the issues raised in the
film, and their impact on Arizona, will follow the screening. The Center's Donald Jacobson will be among the paneslists.
