Illicit drug use and mental illness are common among people in prison and are associated with higher rates of reoffending and reimprisonment. We conducted a systematic review, searching MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO to January 10, 2022, for studies reporting criminal justice involvement following exposure to community mental health services among people released from jail or prison who use illicit drugs and have mental illness. Our search identified 6954 studies; 13 were eligible for inclusion in this review. Studies were separated into three broad categories based on community mental health service type. Eleven of 13 studies reported a reduction in criminal justice involvement among participants exposed to community mental health services compared to a comparison group. Findings indicate a need to expand and improve integration and referral mechanisms linking people to community mental health services after jail or prison release, alongside a need for tailored programs for individuals with complex illicit drug use and mental health morbidities.
非法药物使用和精神疾病在监狱中的人群中很常见，并且与更高的再犯罪率和再监禁率相关。我们进行了一项系统评价，检索了 MEDLINE、Embase 和 PsycINFO 数据库，截至 2022 年 1 月 10 日，以寻找报告在从监狱获释的同时使用非法药物和患有精神疾病的人群中，接触社区心理健康服务后刑事司法参与情况的研究。我们的搜索共确定了 6954 项研究；其中有 13 项符合本综述的纳入标准。这些研究根据社区心理健康服务类型分为三大类。与对照组相比，13 项研究中有 11 项报告了接触社区心理健康服务的参与者的刑事司法参与减少。研究结果表明，需要扩大和改善将人们与社区心理健康服务联系起来的融合和转介机制，同时需要为具有复杂非法药物使用和精神健康病态的个人制定针对性的方案。
