Jail-Based For-Profit Mental Health Providers and Treatment Engagement After Release
CONCLUSIONS: Staying in a jail with a for-profit mental health provider was associated with reduced postrelease engagement with community service providers. Less engagement with services during a pivotal time after release may increase behavioral health crises that erode individuals' well-being and may raise downstream costs due to further criminal legal involvement and emergency care use.PMID:38477837 | DOI:10.1176/appi.ps.20230396 (Source: Psychiatric Services)
