• W1551792114 abstract "Approximately 10-15% of the nearly 6 million offenders in U.S. jails, prisons or on probation or parole, suffer from mental illness. Correctional systems are legally mandated to provide treatment, yet they are overwhelmed with the high costs associated with specialized staff training, the hiring of professional mental health providers, psychotropic medications and specialized housing. This article discusses the prevalence of the problem of the continually increasing numbers of offenders in need of mental health services. The article also presents the results of a national survey of the chief mental health administrators for the state correctional systems across the United States. The survey inquired about the areas of screening, assessment, classification, treatment services, suicide prevention, aftercare, and general perceptions of mental/behavioral health services administrators. Comparisons are made between the State of Kentucky and the rest of the nation. The results indicated that while there are many similarities across the states, there are some marked differences as well, particularly as they relate to suicide prevention and aftercare. 1 Research Topic: This survey is a comparative analysis of treatment policies and services of state-level departments of corrections targeting offenders with mental illnesses. Research Issues: This survey research covers the areas of screening, assessment, classification, treatment services, suicide prevention, aftercare, and general perceptions of mental/behavioral health services administrators. Major Findings: While many similarities exist across the states, there are some marked differences as well, particularly as they relate to suicide prevention and aftercare. When popular culture portrays inmates, it usually depicts hardened men with calculating minds and predatory dispositions. In reality, our prisons are filled mostly with non-violent, property and drug offenders. Many of these prisoners are poor, uneducated, elderly, female, disabled, or physically or mentally ill; many are a combination of all of the above (Soderstrom, 2007). It is the mentally ill offenders who are the most vulnerable to self-harm and victimization by other inmates (Ruddell, 2006), and the most likely to fall 2 through the cracks of the treatment, habilitation, and rehabilitation components of the criminal justice system (Human Rights Watch, 2003). The rate of mental illness among inmates is estimated to be two to three times higher than in the general population (Roskes & Feldman, 1999). There are several explanations for his phenomenon, A special thank you is extended to Mr. Kevin Pangburn from the Kentucky DOC for allowing Kentucky=s responses to the survey to be individually presented. 1 See (Soderstrom, 2007) for a more detailed discussion of prevalence rates. including the facts that: • Deinstitutionalization of state mental hospitals has resulted in the mentally ill residing in communities rather than hospitals. Thus, there are increased opportunities for them to behave in ways that come to the attention of police officers. This behavior is often a manifestation of their illness. • Mentally ill offenders of minor crimes are often subjected to inappropriate arrest and incarceration. • More formal and rigid criteria are now in place for civil commitment to a state mental facility." @default.
