Thirty-three percent of all inmates in New Mexico are taking at least one psychotropic drug. The rate is up from 25% in 2013, according to a report by The Santa Fe New Mexican. While the prescription rate at the federal level is 10%, 30% of male inmates and 70% of female inmates in New Mexico are prescribed psychotropic drugs.

30% of male inmates and 70% of female inmates are prescribed psychotropic drugs.I have a feeling that the inmates have taken over the asylums and criminals are not the ones who are locked up in prisons but the ones who run them.
