According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), 14% of individuals incarcerated at state and federal prisons and 26% of individuals in jails meet the threshold for serious psychological distress (SPD). This is 3 to 5 times higher than the general population, which is 5%. This matter is more concerning than just mere statistics. People in our communities – friends, family members, neighbors – are experiencing serious mental health issues for which they may not be getting the support they need.
