Prisoners with Mental Illness

The readings for this course provide a broad overview of many issues concerning correctional policy and practice. For the writing assignment, you will explore a specific practice, policy or population (e.g., boot camps; juvenile waiver/transfer, HIV/AIDS in prisons and jails, health care in prisons; elderly prisoners, direct-supervision jails, jail diversion programs; etc.), in greater depth and detail.

These papers should include a discussion of why this correctional practice, policy, and/or population is important, historical and current efforts to address the issue (how have these changed?), research about the effectiveness of current or past efforts to deal with the issue, and a discussion of the future of this issue. Outside reading will be necessary (you should have at least 12 sources from professional journals and academic books), and papers should also draw on course readings and discussions where appropriate.

The paper should follow APA guidelines for citations and format, be of an appropriate length (between 15 and 20 pages exclusive of references, double-spaced using 12-font and 1-inch margins), and demonstrate an appreciation and comprehension of the subject matter.
