“…Whether these same variables would function as relative protective factors for other populations of MIOs, or in other settings, or jurisdictions outside of Washington State is unknown. It is possible that some of them (e.g., status as a first-time sex offender, and history of residential mental health treatment in prison) are related to the auspices under which mental health services are provided to mentally ill prisoners in Washington State (see Morrissey, Swanson, Goldstrom, Rudolph, & Manderscheid, 1993) or to the manner in which Washington State has chosen to identify, treat and manage its MIOs, particularly MIO sex offenders.…”

Little research has focused on assessing the risk of mentally ill offenders (MIOs) released from state prisons. Here we report findings for 333 mentally ill offenders released from Washington State prisons. Logistic regression identified sets of variables that forecasted felony and violent reconviction as accurately as state-of-the-art risk assessment instruments. Sums of simple recoded versions of these variables predicted reoffense as well as complex logistic regression equations. Five of these 9 variables were found to be relative protective factors. Findings are discussed in terms of the value of stock correctional variables in forecasting risk, the need to base actuarial risk assessments on local data, the importance of protective factors in assessing MIO risk, and the need for dynamic, situational, and clinical variables that can further sharpen predictive accuracy of emergent risk in the community.

“…To date, the emerging field of corrections mental health services research (Fisher, Silver, & Wolff, 2006;Mears, 2004) focuses on three general approaches or groups of studies. One group of studies explores the type and amount of mental health services actually provided in prisons (Beck & Maruschak, 2001;Manderscheid, Gravesande, & Goldstrom, 2004;Morrissey, Swanson, Goldstrom, Rudolph, & Manderschied, 1993). These studies are important because they provide nationally representative actuarial rates of service delivery from the perspective of the systems providing the services (e.g., 70% of state correctional facilities provide screening at intake).…”

Federal Bureau of PrisonsStructuring a system of psychological services for offenders and releasees requires an understanding of the offenders who voluntarily seek psychological services upon admission. To begin to develop such an understanding, a sample set of responses to the Psychological Services Inmate Questionnaire (PSIQ) from 2,674 newly committed male and female federal offenders were examined. About one-tenth of the sample made a request for psychological services upon admission to prison without a mandate or referral, and confirm that a combination of prior mental health treatment and current symptoms are among the factors associated with making the request. Logistic regression analysis indicated male gender, receipt of mental health treatment prior to current incarceration, history of a head injury, current symptoms of depression, hopelessness, nervousness, sleeping problems, and racing thoughts, were independent and significant predictors of service request. Implications for future corrections research, clinical training and practice are discussed.

“…Much has been written about the provision of mental health services in correctional settings, including psychologists' roles and responsibilities in such settings (Boothby & Clements, 2000; Farrington, 1972; Morrissey, Swanson, Goldstrom, Rudolph, & Manderscheid, 1993; Pallone & LaRosa, 1979); however, there is a paucity of information about inmates who seek mental health services. What type of mental health service providers do inmates prefer to see?…”

With the increasing rise in the U.S. prison population, meeting the mental health needs of inmates before, during, and after incarceration remains an obstacle. What are the mental health experiences of inmates? For what types of problems are inmates willing to seek help, and what are the barriers to their service utilization? This study investigated inmates' attitudes and perceptions toward mental health services and examined whether these attitudes and perceptions vary with respect to ethnic group membership or among inmates of differing security levels. Implications of these findings for psychologists, including psychologists not employed in correctional settings, are highlighted.
