摘要

据报道，64%的美国监狱囚犯患有精神健康问题，而总人口中这一比例仅为18.9%。当考虑到更广泛的残疾定义时，这种差距就会变得更大，而且在惩教设施中，残疾人的比例过高。他们在重返社会时往往没有能力找到工作，而补充保障收入(SSI)和社会保障残疾保险(SSDI)为他们提供了住房和改善生活条件的途径。然而，复杂的申请程序往往导致曾经入狱的人回到以前的生活方式并再次被捕。本研究探讨了马萨诸塞州两个县监狱的SSI/SSDI系统。

The ‘Olympic Hurdles’ of Obtaining Federal Benefits for Inmates with Disabilities: A Study of Two Massachusetts County Jails

Sixty-four percent of US jail inmates are reported to suffer from mental health issues, compared to just 18.9% of the general population. This disparity becomes greater when considering a broader definition of disability, and individuals with disabilities are overrepresented in correctional facilities. They are often left without the ability to find employment at reentry, with Supplementary Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) providing pathways to housing and improved living conditions. However, complicated application procedures often result in the formerly jailed returning to prior lifestyles and rearrests. This study explores SSI/SSDI systems at two Massachusetts county jails.
