A joint thematic inspection of the criminal justice journey for individuals with mental health needs and disorders

A joint thematic inspection of the criminal justice journey for individuals with mental health needs and disorders Inspectors looked at more than 300 cases from six regions, interviewed 550 professionals, and heard from 67 people with mental health issues who had been through the criminal justice system, from first contact with the police to release from prison. The inspection report found poor support for people with mental health issues and concludes that too little progress had been made since the last review in 2009.
