Marvin Mims we call them patients

Below are excerpts from the New York City Department of Investigations public report on Rikers Island and the section below is in reference to Jerry Mims, and his lack of disclosure of his background. 

"Corizon also hired candidates even when they made other troubling disclosures that were probative of poor judgment and integrity. One MHC, for instance, revealed that he had had his New York State law license suspended for 30 months for, as the MHC noted in his application, “failure to maintain records for one client.” DOI’s review of the MHC’s file revealed no evidence that Corizon officials further investigated this alarming disclosure which, according to DOI’s investigation, appears to have been severely understated by the MHC.

Even a cursory investigation conducted on the New York State Office of Court Administration would have revealed that an appellate court suspended the MHC’s license after he failed to generate or maintain the necessary records for multiple clients in his client trust account (known commonly as an Interest On Lawyer’s Account or “IOLA” account) for approximately three years, in violation of various attorney ethics codes. The appellate court presiding over the matter further found that the MHC had “misappropriated” over $1,000 in client funds “for a use other than that which they were intended,” which would constitute grand larceny, 18 and “engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice by failing to timely or completely cooperate” with the investigation into these allegations.

DOI’s investigation into this MHC further reveals that the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office arrested and charged him with Grand Larceny in the Second Degree in April 2014 in connection with an alleged mortgage fraud scheme perpetrated against a partially blind 60 year-old client over a four-year period. These allegations raise concerns of this MHC similarly manipulating a vulnerable inmate-patient under his care."

"Indeed, this same MHC was recently reprimanded for failing to properly address an inmate suicide referral. Specifically, the Corrective Action Memorandum found in the MHC’s personnel file notes that the MHC “closed out” the inmate suicide referral as “[a]ddressed” and noted that the patient “was rescheduled.” The memorandum notes, to the contrary, that the patient was in fact ‘never... “seen,” nor was he re-scheduled.’ Additionally, the Memorandum notes that the MHC failed to notify other mental health administrators of the patient-inmate’s status."
