Who receives mental health treatment?
Mental health treatment is ordered either by the U.S.
district court or by the U.S. Parole Commission as a
condition of releasing individuals under federal
supervision to the community. These persons either
are on probation, parole, or supervised release after
being in prison, under pretrial supervision while
awaiting a court appearance, or conditionally
released after incarceration at a Bureau of Prisons
Federal Medical Center.
What is the purpose of mental health treatment?
Mental health treatment provides officers with the
ability and the means to identify, assess, and provide
treatment for defendants and offenders with mental
disorders as ordered by the court or U.S. Parole
Commission. For offenders under post-conviction
supervision, treatment helps officers enforce the
conditions imposed by the court or Parole
Commission, control the danger defendants and
offenders may pose to society, deter criminal
behavior, and promote law-abiding behavior. For
defendants under pretrial supervision, treatment
helps officers reasonably assure that these persons
appear in court and that society is protected from
potential harm.
When is a defendant or offender considered to be
suffering from a mental health disorder?
According to the Guide to Judiciary Policies and
Procedures, a defendant or offender is considered
to be suffering from some form of mental disease or
defect when the individual’s behavior or feelings
deviate so substantially from the norm as to indicate
disorganized thinking, perception, mood, orientation,
and memory. Mental health disease or defect may
range from the mildly maladaptive to the profoundly
psychotic and may result in unrealistic or aberrant
behavior, grossly impaired judgment, inability to
control impulses or to care for oneself or meet the
demands of daily life, loss of contact with reality, or
violence to oneself or others.
How do officers identify individuals with mental
health problems?
Individuals may come to the probation or pretrial
services office already diagnosed with a mental
health disorder. Or, officers may identify these
persons through information in case files, interviews
with the individuals and their families and friends, or
consultation with mental health professionals.
How many individuals with court-ordered mental
health conditions does the federal probation and
pretrial services system supervise?
As of September 30, 2002, of the more than 135,000
persons under the supervision of U.S. probation and
pretrial services officers, almost 11,000 were
receiving contracted mental health treatment
services. Although the number seems relatively
small, the persons in this particular group can be
especially challenging to supervise.
How is supervising these individuals difficult?
Compared to the average defendant or offender, the
individual with mental health challenges routinely
needs more intensive monitoring, often requires
specialized or individualized treatment, and is
potentially more dangerous (particularly if he or she
has a prior history of violence, suffers from psychotic
disorders, and fails to take prescribed medications).
