By some accounts, nearly half of America's incarcerated population is mentally ill — and journalist Alisa Roth argues that most aren't getting the treatment they need.

It was a protest — but not against the alleged animal rights abuses that occur during the event, in which cattle are chased down narrow, cobblestoned streets toward a bullring, where they then battle to the death with matadors.
