A study conducted by the Department of Corrections in 2006 revealed that approximately 11,739 (50 %) out of 24,000 offenders have a history of, or are currently exhibiting some form of mental health problem. Recent studies have shown that as many as 67% of offenders with mental illness will be re-incarcerated within six months after release from prison if given no adequate aftercare services. The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) has collaborated with other agencies including the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (DOC), Oklahoma City Police Department (OCPD), and the Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) to promote and support efforts to create and sustain more effective interactions among law enforcement, mental health care providers, individuals with mental illness, their families, and communities. |
