Event Description

A shadow health care system now exists behind bars in the US, with a substantial amount of behavioral health care delivered in correctional settings.

There are approximately 2.6 million people incarcerated in the US, which equates, by far, to the world’s highest incarceration rate (~700/100,000 people). It is estimated that 50% of inmates of jails and prisons have a mental illness, and 15-20% have a serious mental illness.
