Faced with the recommendation by an outside consultant to construct a large hospital for the criminally insane, the Oklahoma legislature approved a proposal by the state mental health department to study the mental health treatment needs of the prison population. Through a variety of assessment techniques, the authors found the inmates had a spectrum of disorders needing different treatment approaches. Approximately 78 per cent of the inmates are diagnosable. Thirty-five per cent require treatment other than brief intervention, and 10 per cent are seriously ill. It is estimated that 20 per cent may be resistive and may require involuntary treatment.
面对外部顾问提出的为患有精神疾病的罪犯建造一家大型医院的建议，俄克拉荷马州立法机构批准了州心理健康部门提出的一项提议，即研究监狱服刑人员的心理健康治疗需求。通过各种评估技术，作者发现这些囚犯患有一系列疾病，需要不同的治疗方法。大约78%的囚犯可以确诊。35%的人需要短期干预以外的治疗，10%的人病情严重。据估计，20%的人可能具有抗拒性，可能需要非自愿治疗。
