Room 200 Correctional facilities have seen an increase in seriously mentally ill prisoners similar to that of our civilian counterparts. Our small facility faced a number of challenges in the past year with prisoners with active psychosis. This workshop will discuss those case examples, challenges identified and how we managed those prisoners when faced with barriers to referring for inpatient behavioral health treatment. This workshop will discuss the importance of collaborative correctional, administrative and health care management of these complex cases as well as implementation of the step-down inmate management plans. Managing increasingly serious mental illness impacts training, security and ethical treatment. Objectives: Participants will be able to identify the background leading to increased mental illness in jail and prison populations; understand the importance of collaborative correctional and health care management of seriously mentally ill inmates; and discuss implications for future management of seriously mentally ill inmates in small facilities with limited health care resources.
