“…Social reintegration after release from prison is made difficult by the lack of cooperation between the criminal justice system and community services. This disconnect, which has been documented previously (Chiu et al, 2020 ), was illustrated in the present study by the fragmentation of services for past offenders with intellectual disabilities. On the other hand, there is a growing understanding that people with intellectual disabilities are often victims (Nixon et al, 2017 ; Petersilia, 2001 ).…”

Background People with intellectual disabilities can be exposed to sexual abuse and they can display harmful sexual behaviour. This study aimed to identify barriers to preventing harmful sexual behaviour in people with intellectual disabilities within the support sector and the justice system. Method We conducted focus group interviews with 20 participants from hospital‐based habilitation centres, community residences, schools and the criminal justice system. Results The interviews identified a lack of education and guidelines for stakeholders or carers on regulating the sexual behaviour of people with intellectual disabilities. The criminal justice system faces challenges related to prioritising, understanding and communicating. People with intellectual disabilities may lack an understanding of the concepts of sexual consent and acceptable sexual behaviour. Conclusion There is a need to improve knowledge about intellectual disability and how to prevent harmful sexual behaviour for professional caregivers in the support sector and the criminal justice system.

“…An integrated case management system may also assist by linking people in prison to individualised service provision pre-release to ensure continuity of care once in the community. Post-release, there is a need for enhanced, intensive and integrated specialist intellectual disability and community mental health services 1 with links to supports in the justice, community and welfare, housing and health 30 , 31 services. Finally, our findings point to the value of routinely linking data-sets across multiple agencies and jurisdictions to enable insights which may improve outcomes for those with complex support needs.…”

Impact of post-release community mental health and disability support on reincarceration for prisoners with intellectual disability and serious mental illness in NSW, Australia

et al. 2023

Background Prisoners with an intellectual disability are overrepresented in custody and more likely to reoffend and be reincarcerated compared with the general prison population. Although prisoners with intellectual disability have many of the same risk factors for recidivism as the general prison population, the high rates of mental illness experienced by this group are key drivers of recidivism. Aims We aimed to assess the impact of provision of post-release disability and community mental health support on rates of reincarceration in a cohort with identified intellectual disability and serious mental illness diagnosis. Method We conducted a historical cohort study using linked administrative data-sets, including data on hospital admissions, community mental health, disability support and corrections custody in New South Wales, Australia (n = 484). To assess the time to return to adult custody, we used survival analysis on multiple failure-time data. Results Over the median follow-up period of 7.4 years, 73.7% (357) received community mental health support, 19.8% (96) received disability support and 18.6% (85) received a combination of supports during a post-release period from prison. Lower hazards of reincarceration in a post-release period were associated with receipt of community mental health support (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.58, CI 0.49–0.69, P < 0.001), or a combination of community mental health and disability support (HR = 0.46, CI 0.34–0.61, P < 0.001). Conclusions High rates of reincarceration for prisoners with intellectual disability and history of serious mental illness may be modifiable by provision of appropriate mental health and disability supports.

“…Among them, TCP/IP protocol acts on the source port of the prison perimeter network. When the transmission length of data information is maintained between 16 and 31 bits, the connection of this type of protocol is completely unaffected by the action of other system equipment elements [23,24]. UDP protocol acts on the far port position of the prison perimeter network, which is directly affected by the data information transmission length.…”

In order to realize the security of prison perimeter, a prison perimeter intelligent monitoring system based on cloud intelligence technology is designed. Based on the multisupply chain collaboration framework, the prison network interface submodule and sniffer monitoring structure are connected on demand to complete the hardware execution environment of the prison perimeter intelligent monitoring system. Analyze the specific service mode of the cloud smart technology host, set the necessary cloud smart technology service monitoring protocol, judge the processing information parameters, select the prison perimeter remote communication port number, set the prison perimeter network IP address and password program, complete the construction of the software execution environment of the monitoring system, and intelligently monitor and track the abnormal conditions around the prison; combined with the relevant hardware and software structure, the design of prison perimeter intelligent monitoring system based on cloud intelligence technology is realized. The experimental results show that the DPI index of the designed system has an obvious upward trend, and the processing results are close to the original image results to avoid the impact caused by the change of monitoring scene.
