Inmates with psychiatric disorders are a growing and difficult to manage population in federal and state prisons. An exploratory study was done of New York State's Intermediate Care Programs for inmates with psychiatric disorders. The study assessed whether there was a reduction in disruptive and harmful behaviors, and in the correctional restrictions and mental health services used to address those behaviors, among admissions to programs. Data came from corrections and mental health records of 209 inmates who had been in the program and prison for at least six months. Significant reductions were found in very serious rules infractions, suicide attempts, correctional discipline, and three mental health services: crisis care, seclusion, and hospitalization.
患有精神疾病的囚犯在联邦和州立监狱中是一个不断增长且难以管理的群体。针对纽约州为患有精神疾病的囚犯设立的中级护理项目开展了一项探索性研究。该研究评估了项目入院者中破坏性行为和有害行为，以及用于应对这些行为的惩教限制和心理健康服务是否有所减少。数据来自209名在该项目和监狱中至少待了六个月的囚犯的惩教和心理健康记录。研究发现，在非常严重的违规行为、自杀企图、惩教处分以及三种心理健康服务（危机护理、隔离和住院治疗）方面有显著减少。
