Oklahoma Representative Justin Humphrey has proposed major changes in the state’s mental health and corrections agencies in the wake of recent scandals. Humphrey is calling for the abolition of the state’s mental health agency and the renaming of the Department of Corrections.
The proposal comes after a series of scandals have plagued the state’s mental health agency and corrections department. Humphrey believes that by abolishing the mental health agency and renaming the DOC, it will lead to a fresh start and improved services for those in need of mental health care and those incarcerated in the state’s correctional facilities.
Humphrey’s proposal has sparked debate among lawmakers, with some supporting the changes while others are hesitant to make such drastic moves. Critics argue that abolishing the mental health agency could disrupt services for those who rely on them, while renaming the DOC may not address the underlying issues within the corrections system.
Despite the controversy surrounding his proposal, Humphrey remains steadfast in his belief that these changes are necessary to address the issues that have plagued the state’s mental health and corrections agencies. He believes that by taking bold action, Oklahoma can improve the quality of care for those in need of mental health services and create a more effective corrections system.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether Humphrey’s proposal will be implemented and if it will indeed lead to positive change for the state’s mental health and corrections agencies.
