DLC RECOMMENDATIONS
Only 2 actions can adequately protect the rights and health of the current
and future BSH population:
1. The Commonwealth must immediately place BSH operations under the
authority of DMH to ensure current and future PS access to trauma informed, person-centered mental health treatment; and
2. The Commonwealth must urgently construct a modern DMH hospital
facility designed to provide all individuals in need of “strict security”
psychiatric evaluation and/or treatment in a safe, therapeutic
environment and finally close BSH
