Research has documented the over-representation of persons with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMJ) in jails and prisons. Further increased attention has been directed to jail diversion programs and other attempts to prevent incarceration of adults with SPMI. Yet, regardless of available diversion programs, and recent trends in mental health within correctional settings, jails continue to see a disproportionate increase in inmates with SPMI. Thepurpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the research, public policy, and current best practices for the development and implementation of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training as an in-house intervention in jail/detention-based settings. Our review provides support for deploying this specialized law enforcement response program to address the needs of mentally ill persons within jail settings. Strategies and issues in the utilization of the CIT model in detention contexts are discussed.
研究表明，监狱中患有严重和持续性精神疾病（SPMJ）的人比例过高。人们进一步加大了对监狱分流项目以及其他防止患有SPMI的成年人被监禁的尝试的关注。然而，无论现有分流项目如何，以及惩教机构内心理健康的近期趋势如何，监狱中患有SPMI的囚犯人数仍在不成比例地增加。本文旨在概述危机干预小组（CIT）培训作为监狱/拘留场所内部干预措施的开发和实施方面的研究、公共政策及当前最佳实践。我们的综述为部署这一专门的执法应对项目以满足监狱环境中精神病患者的需求提供了支持。讨论了在拘留环境中使用CIT模式的策略和问题。
