The growth of correctional facilities as mental health service providers has developed alongside an
unsettling ideological shift (the criminalization of mental illness). I would like this paper to be a literature review focusing on:
- Mental healthcare In supervised populations (with cited support)
- The conflicting nature and goals of incarceration and mental health treatment
Outline and elaborate on the goals of Mental Healthcare (with cited support)
Outline and elaborate on the goals of the criminal legal system (retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation - but also mention the consolidation
of political and state power, income generation, and economic and social hierarchy dependent on cheap labor, etc.)
Discuss how the two (goals of Mental Healthcare and goals of the criminal legal system) collide.
