Patients with mental illnesses are more likely to be incarcerated due to multiple barriers, such as poor psychosocial functioning, poor compliance, treatment resistance, lack of social support, and access to mental healthcare [James, Glaze, Bureau of Justice Statistics NCJ 213600, 2006; Cuellar, Snowden, Ewing, PsychiatrServ 58:114–120, 2007]. The United States Bureau of Justice Statistics shows higher incarceration and recidivism in patients with mental health problems, wherein 87% of the patients are found to have psychosis and schizophrenia [Munetz, Grande, Chambers, Community MentHealth J 37:361–371, 2001]. Most importantly, psychosocial disability occurs earlier than expected in patients with psychosis and schizophrenia, and first-episode psychosis may be hard to diagnose in this population group. Therefore, this chapter focuses on causes, prevention, and strategies for post-prison support in this population group.

摘要

Patients with mental illnesses are more likely to be incarcerated due to multiple barriers, such as poor psychosocial functioning, poor compliance, treatment resistance, lack of social support, and access to mental healthcare [James, Glaze, Bureau of Justice Statistics NCJ 213600, 2006; Cuellar, Snowden, Ewing, PsychiatrServ 58:114–120, 2007]. The United States Bureau of Justice Statistics shows higher incarceration and recidivism in patients with mental health problems, wherein 87% of the patients are found to have psychosis and schizophrenia [Munetz, Grande, Chambers, Community MentHealth J 37:361–371, 2001]. Most importantly, psychosocial disability occurs earlier than expected in patients with psychosis and schizophrenia, and first-episode psychosis may be hard to diagnose in this population group. Therefore, this chapter focuses on causes, prevention, and strategies for post-prison support in this population group.
