Correctional Psychiatry

This service is staffed by department of psychiatry staff, including psychiatrists and neuropsychologists. In addition, a plan is in place to develop a Brown University psychiatry elective for residents as well as other training opportunities for medical students.

The service aims to develop a new initiative for management and follow-up of inmates released into a community-based program and also specializes in the unique needs of adolescent inmates. Such a program will assist these individuals in returning to the community, decrease recidivism and help develop long-term psychiatric support and treatment of released inmates.
