Therapeutic interventions aimed at improving the mental health of incarcerated males and females in U.S. jails and prisons can have big implications

Being locked up can be a real bummer for your mental health, but fear not! A recent systematic review of therapeutic interventions in U.S. jails and prisons has some promising results.

Here's what the researchers found:

🔍 They searched high and low for studies on mental health interventions in correctional facilities, and found 28 that fit the bill.

🧠 The interventions ranged from addressing specific mental health issues like PTSD and depression to improving overall well-being and reducing self-injury.

👩‍⚖️ The studies included both male and female participants, so everyone can benefit from a little mindfulness behind bars.

The bottom line? Even in the toughest of situations, there are ways to improve your mental wellness. So take a deep breath, find your inner zen, and keep on keepin' on. 🙏

ALTERNATIVE SENTENCING AND HOW IT’S AFFECTING THE CRIME RATE

Mental health courts in Oklahoma, such as the Cherokee County Mental Health Court, are helping individuals with mental illness reduce their rate of recidivism. By providing a problem-solving approach and support services, these courts have been effective in reducing new crimes committed by participants and improving their overall outcomes.

Here’s the dirty details :

• The program takes a problem-solving approach to help individuals with severe and persistent mental illness recover.

• Mental health court participation is voluntary, and eligibility is determined based on factors such as criminal charges, mental illness, and willingness to comply with court-ordered services.

• Referrals to the mental health court coordinator can be made by anyone in the community, including judges, district attorneys, defense counsel, family members, or mental health providers.

• The court has been effective in reducing new crimes committed by individuals with mental health issues.

• CREOKS Behavioral Health Services has multiple clinics across Oklahoma and offers outpatient behavioral health and substance abuse care.

• MHC graduates are significantly less likely to be reincarcerated compared to released inmates with serious mental illnesses.

• Graduates also experience drops in unemployment, arrests, jail time, and inpatient hospital days.

• Mental health courts can alleviate the problem of accumulating court costs and fines for individuals constantly being incarcerated.
