Mental Illness, Addiction, and Incarceration
Nicole Lewellyn Schramm-Sapyta
Description from DukeHub
This course explores the intersection between mental illness, substance use disorders, and incarceration. We will examine the causes and consequences of the elevated presence of mental illness in the incarcerated population from individual, family, societal, and justice system perspectives. We will examine the overlap between criminogenic risk and mental illness, current strategies to support incarcerated people with mental illness, and societal attitudes toward punishment vs. rehabilitation.
