RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Mischief, Mayhem, and Remediation JF Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Online JO J Am Acad Psychiatry Law FD American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law SP 323 OP 325 DO 10.29158/JAAPL.210010-21 VO 49 IS 3 A1 Anthony C. Tamburello A1 Lindsay Haston YR 2021 UL http://jaapl.org/content/49/3/323.abstract AB Institutional rules are necessary to preserve safety and security in correctional systems. An assessment of relevant mental health problems is a key element of a fair disciplinary process. Though these hearings are administrative in nature, we recommend that mental health evaluations related to disciplinary matters be completed by qualified and well-trained professionals using consistent standards. There are important opportunities to interrupt an untreated mental illness by identifying mental health problems during such evaluations and making appropriate referrals for treatment. We propose the use of intrafacility diversionary programs for drug offenses and other misconduct.
