People incarcerated in jails and prisons around the world have substantially higher rates of mental illness than the general population, including PTSD, major depression, psychotic illness, and personality disorder. Furthermore, they are considerably more likely to commit suicide, hurt themselves and others in prison, and commit another crime after their release. This population needs good psychological therapy, but they are exceptionally complicated, with various demands, and they are, after all, in the confining atmosphere of a jail, which offers its own set of obstacles. This book contributes to new ways of thinking about incarcerated people's mental health and how to deal with them in a constructive, respectful, and possibly redemptive way.
