This article identified rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and recidivism among people incarcerated or exiting incarceration in Indiana using data from different sectors of the incarcerated population. This article was a collaboration between the rehabilitation hospital of Indiana and both the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) and the problem-solving courts of Marion County, resulting in two distinct screening samples. Participants in the IDOC sample ( = 2,791) were screened over a period of 2 years and 4 months. Participants in the specialty courts sample ( = 189) were screened between August and October 2016. The rates of moderate-to-severe TBI in the samples were highly variable and ranged from 13% to 86%, higher than in the general population. Recidivism rates for those with TBI were significantly higher than among participants without TBI at 6 and 12 months postrelease. Formerly incarcerated people from the IDOC sample reporting a moderate-to-severe TBI were nearly two times more likely to return to incarceration within 1 year of release.
本文利用印第安纳州被监禁或即将出狱人群不同部门的数据，确定了该州监禁或即将出狱人群中创伤性脑损伤（TBI）和累犯的发生率。这篇文章是印第安纳康复医院与印第安纳州惩教部（IDOC）和马里恩县问题解决法院合作的结果，产生了两个不同的筛查样本。IDOC 样本（n=2791）的参与者在 2 年零 4 个月的时间里接受了筛查。专业法庭样本（n=189）的参与者于 2016 年 8 月至 10 月期间接受了筛查。两个样本中中度至重度 TBI 的发生率差异很大，范围从 13%到 86%，高于一般人群。有 TBI 的参与者在出狱后 6 个月和 12 个月的累犯率明显高于没有 TBI 的参与者。报告中度至重度 TBI 的 IDOC 样本中的前囚犯在出狱后 1 年内再次入狱的可能性几乎是没有 TBI 者的两倍。
