Mentally Disordered Offenders in Corrections. An examination of the prevalence of inmates who have multiple mental disorders and the challenges of treatment. By Joe Marinello.
Mental Illness and the Criminal Justice System. Today, some 283,800 inmates are identified as having a mental illness. This represents 16% of the inmate populations of state and local jails. Jails have effectively become America’s new mental institutions; they house a larger volume of mentally ill people than all other programs combined. However, these inmates rarely receive the treatment that they need and have a right to.
