They've identified failure points and set up interventions but they haven't gathered followup data. Part of the problem in doing outcome studies here is the low base-rate issue. Inpatient suicides are quite rare so it's hard to measure the effects of intervention.<BR/><BR/>Regarding GBMI recidivism, insanity acquittees as a whole recidivate less than 'traditional' offenders. Don't have exact numbers off the top of my head (except for about 60-70% recidivism for parolees).<BR/><BR/>Regarding the housing status of my patients in prison, the majority of them are in general population.<BR/><BR/>Nurse: Thanks, so far it's been fun.ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-70310878111794072252008-10-24T12:29:00.000-04:002008-10-24T12:29:00.000-04:00Enjoy the rest of your conference!Enjoy the rest of your conference!Lisa Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951250862147784757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-46755431893444167162008-10-24T11:15:00.000-04:002008-10-24T11:15:00.000-04:00As a follow-up, it would be interesting to learn i...As a follow-up, it would be interesting to learn if there's any difference in outcome or recidivism for patient-offenders who are declared GBMI and get hospital treatment prior to prison.<BR/><BR/>As a Clinkshrink, how well do you think the mental health needs of your patients are served by the prison system? Do they receive any kind of treatment beyond medication and brief therapy? Are they segregated from the general population, or does this vary, or are they all in gen pop?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-77488595806837652082008-10-24T11:05:00.000-04:002008-10-24T11:05:00.000-04:00Where can I find more info on the study about redu...Where can I find more info on the study about reducing inpatient suicides?

I suspect there's something qualitatively different about the offenders they're managing this way. In the US mentally ill offenders are generally sent directly to prison if they are found criminally responsible, except for those states that allow for GBMI verdicts (guilty but mentally ill) which requires hospitalization prior to incarceration. I believe this is what Montana does.ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-70148483873574425322008-10-24T09:46:00.000-04:002008-10-24T09:46:00.000-04:00I wonder if Zoe D.

On another psychiatrist's blog, Google regularly inserts an ad that reads:<BR/><BR/><B>Be a Psychiatrist</B><BR/>Advance your career - earn a degree in Psychiatry completely online. <BR/><BR/>I clicked to see what was involved (I mean, who <I>wouldn't</I> want to forgo $250k in student loan debt and and 7-8 years more education if there was an easier way to accomplish your goal?)<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, it turns out you can only acquire psychology degrees this way. So no prescription pad. Darn.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, I'm curious about the decreased recidivism rate for people who spend part of their sentence in a hospital, then "earn" their way to prison. Why does this work so much better? Are mentally ill offenders in the U.S. sent directly to prison now? I thought we had forensic hospitals, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-13625988436078168642008-10-23T22:10:00.000-04:002008-10-23T22:10:00.000-04:00Sounds like an interesting conference.
