With the policy of deinstitutionalization and closure of mental health inpatient beds, there has been an increased prevalence of serious mental illness in our prisons. This trend has continued in spite of investments in community mental health and addiction services, forensic services and mental health and drug courts. Correctional centres with their limited mental health resources and infrastructure have struggled to manage this epidemic, regularly relying heavily on segregation of mentally disordered offenders and often there have been suboptimal and even tragic
outcomes. Seriously mentally ill offenders typically have complex mental health and criminogenic needs which if not addressed can lead both to poor mental health outcomes and recidivism, and there are few correctional institutions fully devoted to this population. The Correctional Centre Mental Health Centre hybrid model is a relatively new approach addressing the needs of mentally disordered offenders. This paper reviews the work of done by one facility which pioneered this approach in Ontario, Canada and the evidence of its efficacy.
