Serving Mentally Ill Prison Populations

 

 Find at least two research articles that evaluate the success of mental health service programs for mentally ill populations in prisons. This assignment is a research paper. In paragraph form, please provide a thorough and integrated response to all questions that follow:

  • What are the services provided by mental health courts?
  • How do these services benefit the prisoners? How do these compare to the services already available through the existing criminal justice system?
  • Do the research findings support the establishment of more mental health service programs to imprisoned mentally ill populations? What can be done to improve these services further?

Submit your analysis in Word format. The body of your paper (not including the title page or references page) should be at least 3-4 page. Format your paper according to current standards of APA style and include an APA-style title page, a running head, and a references page. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
