<strong> MENTAL HEALTH ACCESS AND CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR SERIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL OFFENDERS</strong><br />
SAMANTHA KENT, ASIA CHUAVIRIYA (UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN)<br />
<br />
This roundtable will discuss the profound issue of untreated Serious Mental Illness (SMI) within the criminal justice system and its barriers. Individuals with SMI within the prison system make up 31% of the total prison population. More prevalent is the lack of mental health care within the prisons to aid these individuals. This deficit in care limits individuals&#39; chances of success in the community upon reentry, increasing their likelihood of recidivism.</span>
