Costs of Incarcerating Youth with Mental Illness
  • http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/COMIO/docs/Costs_of_Incarcerating_Youth_with_Mental_Illness.pdf
Edward Cohen and Jane Pfeifer
  • One of the products of ongoing collaboration between the Chief Probation Officers of California (CPOC) and the California Mental Health Directors Association (CMHDA), this study's purpose is to inform public policy development by analyzing costs and contexts related to incarcerating youth with mental illness and co-occurring mental illness/substance use disorders in California detention facilities. Information obtained from this study will serve to advocate for better services in order to prevent the inappropriate criminalization of youth who would be better served in mental health treatment settings, to improve services to youth who must be separated from the community, and to ensure continuity of mental health care upon re-entry of such youth to their communities.
