Making Sense of Marshall Ledbetter - Politics, Protest, and Madness in the Florida Capitol

Marchall Ledbetter's invasion of the Florida State Capitol remains the biggest security breach of the building's history, but Daniel Harrison's telling of the Ledbetter saga is about more than one misguided young man's breaking and entering into the state's most secure building. Making Sense of Marshall Ledbetter thoughtfully and honestly explores the ways society manages deviant people in real world situations and whether or not law enforcement and justice systems are equipped to handle mental illness.
