Individuals with mental illnesses may be disproportionately exposed to pretrial detention, exposing them to the psychiatric, medical, and legal consequences of incarceration. The purpose of this literature review was to find out if and how mental illness is related to missed court appearances or rearrest while individuals are awaiting trial. This review identified a limited number of empirical studies examining the association between mental illness and these outcomes. The results of the studies were variable. Although some studies found that mental illness variables predicted failure to appear, the relationship was more prominent for women than men. Substance use and criminal history appear to be more consistent predictors than mental illness. The data on the relationship between mental illness-related variables and rearrest are also mixed. Further research is needed to understand if or how mental illness affects decisions on pretrial detention.","PeriodicalId":47554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144700088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such rerouting might be presumed preferable for such individuals, because it is intended to offer a humane alternative to incarceration and is often viewed by the public as an avenue for accused individuals to avoid accountability. Our clinical experience corroborates European findings that at least some individuals who have been placed into forensic psychiatric care would have preferred to remain in the penal system. We report on our preliminary qualitative investigation into the reasons why some forensic psychiatric inpatients in the Canadian province of Ontario would prefer to be incarcerated. Using a grounded theory methodology, we identify six thematic categories of reasons for this preference. Drawing on these themes, we propose that participants perceive inpatient forensic psychiatric detention as posing a greater threat to personal identity than incarceration as well as feel despair associated with the perceived futility of resisting identity-shaping pressures in this environment. Participants' concerns re-emphasize the clinical challenge, but also the importance, of providers' supporting patients to associate hope rather than harm with the aim of personal transformation through inpatient forensic psychiatric care.","PeriodicalId":47554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144638430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Racial disparities in such prescribing have been researched in both community and correctional settings. We describe a performance improvement (PI) project to reduce the disparities in prescribing buprenorphine in the New Jersey Department of Corrections that involved public-facing educational efforts directed toward both prescribers and potential patients. Using reports designed to collect baseline and follow-up summary data from the electronic medical record and institutional database, we showed that, from 2021 to 2024, for the entire NJDOC census, the rate of prescribing for Black IPs increased from 3.9 to 6.3 percent (p < .00001) and for Hispanic IPs from 6.6 to 9.6 percent (p = .0009), whereas prescribing for White IPs was unchanged (19.0-18.0%, p = .362). When considering interest in buprenorphine by persons with OUD (either expressing interest or receiving a prescription for it), we noted increases in Black (41.1-56.5%, p < .0001) and Hispanic (54.9-69.7%, p = 0) IPs, but not White (71.6-73.4%, p = .360) IPs. Compared with a study on MOUD prescribing in this setting in 2019, the proportion of IPs prescribed buprenorphine identifying as Black increased (17.0-41.1%, p < .00001). These results support educational efforts for improving access to treatment with MOUD in carceral settings.","PeriodicalId":47554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144643775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Case records (n = 390) were coded to identify neglect types and incident characteristics associated with removal in prior studies. Results indicate that the removal of a child and the removal of a parent from the home following an incident of neglect are associated with distinct neglect types and incident characteristics. In bivariate analyses, failure to provide physical needs (FTP), family mental health problems, and co-occurring abuse were each associated with higher odds of child removal. In multivariate analyses, offender substance use, co-occurring abuse, and early parenting, but not FTP, were associated with child removal. Interaction models indicated that high-severity FTP incidents in families with mental health problems were more likely to result in child removal compared with other neglect incidents. In contrast, incidents involving emotional neglect and service member offenders were associated with higher odds of parent removal. Findings advance understanding of the characteristics of neglect incidents associated with family separations, which can improve the judiciousness of legal decisions regarding removal actions and inform prevention efforts that effectively protect children from harm while minimizing disruptions to family integrity.","PeriodicalId":47554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law","volume":" ","pages":"160-171"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143473348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
