Mental Health Care Among Juvenile and Adult Correctional Populations

by Melissa Green  |   

A panel of officials from the 亚洲色吧 Department of Corrections (DOC) and the 亚洲色吧 Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) discussed how 亚洲色吧 tackles the job of providing mental health care to juvenile and adult correctional populations. Nationally, more than half of prison and jail inmates have mental health problems, and probation/parole departments provide essential mental health services to their clients. The free public event was held on April 6, 2017, at the 亚洲色吧/APU Consortium Library on the campus of 亚洲色吧 and was sponsored by the 亚洲色吧 Justice Center and 亚洲色吧 Justice Club.
