Courts and the Healthcare System: Institutional Confinement and Coercive Care (1:21:43)

3:05 – 4:30 pm: Panel Eight | Courts and the Healthcare System: Institutional Confinement and Coercive Care

People who are involved in both the criminal justice system and the mental healthcare system are dually stigmatized. A person found “not criminally responsible” typically has a difficult time reintegrating into their community. Treatment is not equally accessible across the county; how can we minimize the discrepancy between urban and rural areas? How do we provide effective healthcare within a correctional system?
