The first time Trina Edwards was locked in a psychiatric hospital for children, she was 12 years old. She was sure a foster parent would pick her up the next day. But instead, Trina would end up spending years cycling in and out of North Star Behavioral Health in Anchorage, Alaska.  At times, she was ready to be discharged, but Alaska's Office of Children's Services couldn't find anywhere else to put her – so Trina would stay locked in at North Star, where she would experience violent restraints and periods of seclusion. Then, shortly before her 15th birthday, Trina was sent to another facility 3,000 miles away: Copper Hills Youth Center in Utah.  Both North Star and Copper Hills are owned by Universal Health Services, a publicly traded Fortune 500 company that is the nation's largest psychiatric hospital chain. Trina's experience is emblematic of a larger problem: a symbiotic relationship between failing child welfare agencies, which don't have enough foster homes for all the kids in custody, and large for-profit companies like Universal Health Services, which have beds to fill.  This hour, Mother Jones reporter Julia Lurie exposes how  Universal Health Services is profiting off foster kids who get admitted to its facilities, despite government and media investigations raising alarming allegations about patient care that the company denies.  This is an update of an episode that originally aired in October 2023.

The Indian Child Welfare Act is more than a legal argument. The law, now more than 40 years old, is an important element in individual child development, family structure, and the continuation of culture. A decision is pending from the U.S. Supreme Court that could determine the fate of ICWA. Supporters of the law worry the decision could erode the most important legacy it has forged over the decades. Today on Native America Calling, in a special live broadcast from Washington, D.C., Shawn Spruce gets a perspective of ICWA from those who have lived it with Adriann Ricker (enrolled member of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes), research associate at Johns Hopkins School for Nursing; Mary Annette Pember (Red Cliff Ojibwe), national correspondent for ICT; and Julia Lurie, journalist at Mother Jones.

As detailed in a Mother Jones exposé, the AMA has a long, cozy relationshipwith Big Pharma, including Purdue PharmaThe AMA's pain management training program for physicians implied thatdoctors were too tentative to give patients these pills and “the effectiveness ofopioid therapy may be undermined by misconceptions about their risks”The AMA's pain management training program was developed by a team withclose ties to the industryPurdue Pharma gave more than $3 million in donations to the AMA and the AMAFoundation from 2002 to 2018Richard Sackler, who served as the president of Purdue Pharma, was a memberof the AMA Foundation's board of directors from 1998 to 2004While being dependent on prots from commercial endeavors and receivingheavy funding from Big Pharma, the AMA functions as a trade group whileportraying itself as independentIn October 2020, opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma pleaded guiltyto three felony counts of criminal wrongdoing and agreed to an $8.3billion settlement with the Department of Justice over theirproduction and marketing of Oxycontin and other opioid drugs.1-"The abuse and diversion of prescription opioids has contributed to anational tragedy of addiction and deaths, in addition to those caused byillicit street opioids," said Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen in anews release.2 In 2019, opioid overdoses were responsible for nearly 50,000deaths in the U.S., with the misuse of and addiction to opioids described asa national crisis.3The pandemic has only worsened the crisis. From December 2019 toDecember 2020, there were 93,331 estimated overdose deaths in the U.S.,which represents a 29.4% increase in 12 months.4Opioids, including oxycodone, hydrocodone, and morphine, accounted for the majority ofdeaths — 69,031 — followed by synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl andtramadol.5The most recent data on opioid overdose deaths can be viewed via theCDC's 12-month provisional number of drug overdose deaths by drug ordrug class dashboard — due to a small percentage still pendinginvestigation, numbers may change slightly upon final analysis.6On their website, the American Medical Association (AMA), whose missionis to "promote the art and science of medicine and the betterment of publichealth, "7 states that its Opioid Task Force is "committed to providingevidence-based recommendations and leadership to help end the opioidepidemic."8However, as detailed in a Mother Jones exposé, AMA has a long, cozyrelationship with Big Pharma, including Purdue Pharma. "The prestigiousdoctor's group has made it virtually impossible to discern where publichealth guidance ends and industry interests begin," writer Julia Lurie writesin Mother Jones.9'How to Create an Addict Education'In 2007, Purdue Pharma pleaded guilty to felony charges of misbrandingwith intent to defraud and mislead the public and physicians aboutOxycontin's dangers.Several months later, the AMA released their new pain managementtraining program, which included 12 modules about prescribing narcotics,including that doctors were too tentative to give patients these pills and "the effectiveness of opioid therapy may be undermined by misconceptions about their risks, particularly risksassociated with abuse and addiction."10FOR THE WHOLE POST CLICK HERE .https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wkz4iamSe0m2oY-WVKI5ljCcRd0fp_SVR0te2Gz4dFc/edit?usp=sharingSupport the show (https://paypal.me/dryohoauthor?locale.x=en_US)

Over nearly five decades, Delancey Street Foundation in San Francisco has built a reputation as one of the nation's highest-profile rehab centers and prison diversion programs. It's earned a cult-like following among judges, politicians, and celebrities, including Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Gavin Newsom, Jane Fonda, and Clint Eastwood. But Delancey it has been subject to little oversight or scrutiny. On this episode of the Mother Jones Podcast, senior reporter Julia Lurie investigates an eccentric program with a number of long-standing practices that are rarely discussed in public. Participants work long hours with no pay, get not mental health services, are forbid from using psychiatric medications, and undergo rituals that some describe as psychological torture. Many Delancey alums credit the program's tough-love approach with saving their lives. But for others, it led to their unraveling.

In January 2019, the Trump administration began enforcing the Migrant Protection Protocols, more widely known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy. It forced an estimated 60,000 people, many of them Central American, to remain in Mexico while U.S. courts decide their fate. While the door has essentially been shut on newly arrived migrants, a few who are deemed "vulnerable" are still being allowed to enter. Mother Jones reporters Fernanda Echavarri and Julia Lurie went to Santa Fe, New Mexico to talk to some of the few people allowed into the U.S. And, in this episode of Latino USA, Fernanda takes us on a ride-along to meet two newly arrived families trying to make a life, while stuck in limbo.

The Trump administration has slammed the door on asylum seekers in the last year, forcing more than 60,000 migrants to wait upwards of a year in Mexican border cities as their cases moved through US immigration court. But on this latest episode, we take you to New Mexico to meet some of the select few asylum seekers who have defied odds to be admitted to the United States—and who now must face a new set of challenges as they settle into life here. Mother Jones' Fernanda Echavarri and Julia Lurie spend the day with a so-called family navigator from a local direct-services organization called Las Cumbres whose main job is to do "whatever the families need": from driving them around to a clinic to helping them enroll in school. Las Cumbres is a nonprofit that helps families with resources—including mental health services—in a city without the type of support systems that immigrants can find in bigger cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, or Chicago. Many newly arrived immigrants are often preoccupied with trying to find employment and a safe place to live first, before addressing any mental health issues. They've fled dangerous situations and traumatic experiences in their home countries before experiencing the infamous harsh conditions inside US immigration detention facilities. Mental health experts have said it can be difficult to recognize signs of trauma in these communities, not only because trauma shows up differently when they're still in the middle of processing it, but also because they are still in the middle of it with so much stress to handle.

The Trump administration touts its “Remain in Mexico” policy as resounding success. Critics call it cruel and illegal. What's unquestionable is that Trump has made it virtually impossible for migrants to seek asylum in the United States, leaving tens of thousands of migrant families stuck in limbo in crowded shelters and tent camps in Mexico's border cities. Reporters Fernanda Echavarri and Julia Lurie travel to Ciudad Juárez to examine the colossal impact of a policy that has become the new normal at the border.

When a person needs to get into rehab, the last thing they expect is that they are going to be invited into a rehab scam. However, this happens all the time. Julia Lurie, journalist at Mother Jones, spent 9 months learning about the underbelly of patient brokers and how they bounce patients from rehab to rehab in a large rehab scam.

“The offer was too good to resist: Go to rehab for a week, get $1,000 in cash. It was early 2017, and Brianne, a 20-year-old from a woody Atlanta suburb, had come to South Florida to leave her heroin addiction behind,” read the opening lines of Julia Lurie’s feature article in the latest issue of Mother Jones magazine entitled “Hooked: How rehab recruiters are luring recovering opioid addicts into a deadly cycle.” “$1,000 for the first week of her stay and $500 each week thereafter. That money could buy Brianne a whole lot of heroin.” In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI Mother Jones reporter Julia Lurie details the major health hazards rehab recruiters are exposing recovering addicts to under the guise of trying to help.

On today's show, we hear the results of a nine-month investigation into how rehab recruiters are luring recovering opioid users into a deadly cycle. Mother Jones reporter Julia Lurie tells host Jamilah King about how some users are being wooed aggressively by rehabs and freelance “patient brokers” in an effort to fill beds and collect insurance money. These brokers scour social media and Narcotics Anonymous meetings for new customers. We get a glimpse into a broken system that's harming, and sometimes killing, the very people it's supposed to help, while lining the pockets of facility owners and their corporate bosses. It's a growing business—and business is booming.

The historic nuclear summit. Mother Jones DC bureau chief David Corn explains why President Trump's Singapore appearance was one of the worst days of his presidency. Also on the show: MoJo's Julia Lurie talks with host Jamilah King about her exclusive reporting on recently unsealed whistleblower lawsuits alleging scandalous tactics by a pharmaceutical company to push doctors to prescribe opioids—including strip clubs and kickbacks. David Beard shares a story about a valedictorian silenced no longer. And finally, if you love Jonathan Taylor Thomas, you're not going to want to miss the end of this episode.

Where can pregnant women struggling with addiction to opioids turn for help? How are infants affected by exposure to opioids?Julia Lurie, a reporter for Mother Jones, set out answer these questions. She tells us about two women in Baltimore who sought treatment at the Johns Hopkins ‘Center for Addiction and Pregnancy’ - known as CAP. Check out her reporting, ----Homeless. Addicted to Heroin. About to Give Birth.---- Julia Lurie has also written about how the opioid epidemic is impacting the foster care system. CAP brings together medical providers of several specialties to care for mothers and infants together. It’s a unique model that Dr. Lauren Jansson, director of pediatrics at CAP, says makes a big difference.

It’s Reefer Madness week on Oral Argument. We talk with Douglas Berman about marijuana decriminalization and lots more. We discuss blogs and scholarship, LSD, why minds might be changing and how they change on drug use, parental paternalism and state paternalism, what we mean by “good drugs” and “bad drugs,” the productivity of intoxication, why law students take an interest in philosophy and sociology when it comes to drug laws. What levers should we use to minimize the dangers drugs pose, and what levers are available to us? We talk a bit about Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden, and North Korea. Yes, North Korea. Is part of the right answer to restrict the market to Mom and Pop Pot? How do we do that in a maelstrom of conflicting federal and state laws?
