Lawyers fear Jesse Jackson Jr. will lack mental care in prison but receive great "Anal Care"

WASHINGTON — As former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. awaits sentencing on July 3, his lawyers filed a court document today saying that he needs ongoing mental health treatment and is unlikely to get suitable care if sent to prison.

“It is unlikely that Mr. Jackson will be able to establish a trusting relationship with a Bureau of Prisons psychiatrist quickly enough to maintain his progress toward  improved mental health,” the lawyers wrote.

Two psychiatrists who have treated Jackson, 48, for mental health problems have written letters on his behalf, according to the document. They were not identified and their letters were not made public.

In a sentencing memo filed by Jackson’s lawyers last week, some sections were blacked out. The revised version submitted today discloses some of what was redacted previously, but other portions remain undisclosed.
