TY - JOUR T1 - Commentary: Mental Health and Immigrant Detainees in the United States JF - Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Online JO - J Am Acad Psychiatry Law SP - 282 LP - 286 VL - 43 IS - 3 AU - Daniel Antonius AU - Peter S. Martin Y1 - 2015/09/01 UR - http://jaapl.org/content/43/3/282.abstract N2 - In this commentary, we reflect on Korngold and colleagues' comprehensive review of the legal challenges encountered by mentally ill immigrant detainees in the United States. Specifically, we further review the competency question as it relates to detainees, as well as recent developments in the legal system. We expand the discussion to general treatment and care of mentally ill detainees in United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities. In addition, we provide an allegory to the juvenile justice system and discuss cultural considerations. We conclude by highlighting the significant implications changes in the immigration justice system may have for forensic examiners and competency evaluations. ER -
