The mental health system is often not readily accessible, culturally responsive, or a reliable source of effective interventions for society's most vulnerable populations. Modern-era studies estimate the number of persons diagnosed with serious mental illness in correctional facilities is more than 3 times the amount in hospitals. Understanding mass incarceration and the criminalization of mental illness is imperative to address mental health inequities. This article examines the interplay of mental health and criminal justice inequities, the historical context for the prevailing extant approaches to correctional mental health treatment, and programmatic approaches to addressing these inequities.
心理健康系统通常难以企及、文化反应迟钝，或者对于社会上最脆弱的人群来说，不是可靠的有效干预措施来源。现代时代的研究估计，在监狱中被诊断患有严重精神疾病的人数是医院中人数的三倍多。了解大规模监禁和精神疾病的犯罪化对于解决心理健康不平等问题至关重要。本文探讨了心理健康和刑事司法不平等之间的相互作用，以及流行的监狱心理健康治疗方法的历史背景，以及解决这些不平等问题的方案方法。
