They're tied down, drugged, and needlessly warehoused.
Patients at Virginia's 15 mental health institutions are getting worse than a minimal level of care.
Those are some of the scathing findings of an independent consultant-- whose report was finally released today by Governor Jim Gilmore.
[Double Boxes=Melanie/Ellen]

The state hired Massachusetts mental health expert Dr. Jeffrey Geller in May 1996 to evaluate its mental health facilities and report to then-Attorney General Jim Gilmore.
Today, after 14 months of requests by reporters, Governor Jim Gilmore made the Geller report public.
It's findings are ugly.

Former VMI head football coach Bill Stewart is suing the school for breach of contract.
(--------------)
[VO-NAT]

Stewart resigned from the institution in December of 1996 after he was accused of firing a racial slur at one of his players.
[super=03-Lexington/1996;]

He is now seeking compensatory damages of at least one million dollars from VMI, and another $350 thousand dollars in punitive damages from superintendent Major General Josiah Bunting, and former athletic director Davis Babb.
The suit contends that VMI officials labeled Stewart a racist and kept him from gaining employment elsewhere in college football.
He almost was hired as the head coach at Randolph Macon, but failed to get that and several other coaching jobs in the college ranks.
Stewart is currently an offensive line coach in the Canadian Football League.
