Psychiatric News (12/15) reports, “Among adults with mental illness released from correctional centers, each month that passes after release without accessing mental health services is associated with a greater risk of reincarceration,” investigators concluded in a study that included “a total of 1,664 participants who were released from correctional centers 4,171 times during the study period.” The findings were published online Dec. 15 in JAMA Network Open.
