The criminal justice system as a whole is not the place for someone with dementia. Jail, or worse, prison, would be absolute torture. This book is an attempt to help those who, because of dementia, are fragile, bewildered, and vulnerable - and to give their attorneys the tools to obtain a fair and just resolution of their case.Table of Contents:ForewordIntroductionWhat Is Dementia?
