There is a very strong correlation between poor health outcomes and high
rates of criminal justice involvement and recidivism. This panel will look at
promising practices that help improve the health and community tenure of
individuals with behavioral conditions who currently or might otherwise have
contact with the criminal justice system. It will feature the developer of the
nation’s first mental health court as well as noted state and national proponents
of promising criminal justice diversion and re-entry approaches.
