AbstractResearch suggests that many juveniles in residential facilities report high rates of early childhood trauma. Past research demonstrates that knowledge of trauma history, specifically whether a youth has been abused or neglected, may provide court practitioners with necessary information concerning recidivism risk, treatment needs, and treatment responsivity. Little is known about the validity of general risk assessment tools for youth involved in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems (i.e., crossover youth) and their unique risk patterns. Therefore, this study examined the validity of the Ohio Youth Assessment System-Disposition Tool (OYAS-DIS) for crossover youth. Results revealed that although crossover youth were more likely to have higher risk scores overall compared to general delinquent youth, the total score of the OYAS-DIS was equally predictive of recidivism for both males and females regardless of child welfare status.Keywords: child welfarecrossover youthrisk assessmentdual-status offenderOYAS Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 It is important to note a limitation of the way child neglect was operationalized in this study. This operationalization omits any child neglect cases that occurred before the study began. However, the long length of this study mitigates some of this problem.

AbstractIndividuals with co-occurring mental health concerns and opioid use disorder (COD) are at high risk of mortality and poor social and health outcomes upon release, and there is a need to better understand the unique reentry needs of this population. The high level of need experienced by individuals with COD will demonstrate a necessity for comprehensive reentry support which includes mental health treatment, Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), social services such as education, employment, Medicaid, and housing. This sample included 490 adults from a targeted jail/prison reentry program for individuals experiencing COD in a Midwestern state. Program participants had histories of trauma (90%), homelessness (62%), and inpatient psychiatric care (38%). Further, most participants reported needing medical attention for a physical problem (70%) at baseline. Finally, participants had extensive criminal-legal system exposures, with an average of 10 lifetime arrests outside of their current incarceration (M = 9.91, SD = 8.74). The findings have important implications for expanding reentry services to support individuals with COD. This includes the need to begin services prior to release and ensuring the coordination and continuity of care with community-based treatment providers.Keywords: mental healthsubstance usereentry programsco-occurring disordercriminal justice Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingState of Michigan Dept of Health & Human Services State Opioid Response II—Michigan Telehealth Evaluation [Sponsor grant number: E20221673-00.

AbstractAlthough sentencing recommendations should be based on legal factors, research shows that some juvenile probation officers (JPOs) also consider extra-legal factors. Indeed, research shows that stereotypes about certain demographics (e.g., young Black males) increase the perception of dangerousness and, in turn, result in harsher sentencing recommendations. The purpose of the current study was to identify the legal (seriousness of offense, prior offenses, and record), physical (race, gender, and age), and social factors (socioeconomic status, completeness of the juvenile’s family/family arrangement, presence of co-offenders) that the JPO considered the most important when making their sentencing recommendations. Data for the study came from a sample of juvenile probation officers in nine states. Participants were asked questions about sanctioning, disposition, and sentencing. The findings show that while the majority of JPOs rated legal factors (e.g., seriousness of offense) as the most important when making sentencing recommendations, a substantial proportion of the sample rated physical factors (e.g., race) as the most important factor considered when making sentencing recommendations. Implications and future directions for research are discussed.Keywords: decision-makingjuvenile probation officerpre-sentencing investigation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

AbstractObjective: Evidence suggests incarcerated individuals have high rates of mental health difficulties, and that incarcerated women face greater trauma-related than incarcerated males. The current study investigated efficacy of an acceptance-based, insight-oriented treatment approach to alleviate mental health challenges in incarcerated women.Method: Incarcerated females (N = 90) were recruited from a medium security facility and were randomized to either the treatment condition (n = 49) or a waitlist control (n = 41). Emotion dysregulation, psychological inflexibility, global mental health, and trauma symptoms were assessed at baseline, post-course, and 6-month follow-up.Results: A significant main effect of treatment was found for all primary outcomes at post-course and 6-month follow-up. Results yielded significant mean differences between time points for the treatment condition for all primary outcomes from baseline to post-course, and baseline to 6-month follow-up.Conclusion: Results suggest the acceptance-based, insight-oriented treatment approach is efficacious for incarcerated women. A purposed mechanism of the intervention is discussed.Keywords: acceptance-basedpsychological inflexibilitymental healthemotion dysregulationthree principlesincarcerated women AcknowledgementsAuthors wish to thank interventionists and those who contributed to the final product of this research endeavor.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData is available upon reasonable request.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Three Principles Research & Consulting, LLC under Grant: 3PRC1.2019.

Abstract Jails are often the first point of assessment after arrest. This structural position provides an early opportunity to document and treat opioid use disorder (OUD). This paper describes the findings of the Building Bridges Planning Initiative, a project which prepared jail staff and their community treatment partners for the implementation and/or expansion of the use of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUDs) in 16 different jurisdictions across the U.S. From August 2019 through April 2020, 123 staff participants from 16 different counties in the U.S. completed surveys at baseline and again at one-year follow-up for staff still engaged in the project documenting changes in knowledge about, and the perceived helpfulness of, six different MOUDs. Participants were predominantly female (61%), averaged 49 years of age (SD = 11), and worked in jail (60%). Bivariate and multivariate results suggest that respondents’ perceived knowledge of/helpfulness of all MOUDs increased from baseline to follow-up, though findings for naltrexone-based MOUDs were mixed, with only depot naltrexone demonstrating significant increases in perceived helpfulness. Findings presented here suggest that over the course of the intervention, familiarity with and attitudes about MOUDs improved among individuals working within treatment centers and individuals working within correctional facilities.

Abstract Family science and public health scholars have documented the consequences of incarceration for the well-being of individuals, children, families, and communities. Yet the largest form of supervision in the criminal legal system is not imprisonment, but probation, with little known about the experiences of parents on probation. We analyzed interviews with 153 adults on probation, 68 (44%) of whom reported being parents of minor children (under 18 years). Compared to participants without minor children, parents with minor children were younger and more likely to be employed. Among parents, 42% reported having custody of one or more minor children and 20% lived with their minor children at the time of the interview. Yet, most (82%) parents reported they provided some form of care or support. Qualitative analyses of four case studies show the challenges facing parents on probation and the complex intersection of custody, living arrangements, and care and support for minor children. We find that parenthood and probation are interconnected, with parent status influencing the experience of supervision and probation impacting parenting opportunities and constraints. Findings suggest service providers working with parents on probation need to attend to these complex family dynamics.

Abstract Recent studies have emphasized that silence is a fundamental element in meditative practices for stress relief, well-being, and stimulating faith in the future. This study describes the educational experience of implementing the Practice of Silence Device in a prison setting during the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic (May–July, 2021). Interviews with 23 adult male imprisoned individuals (average age = 48.79; 65% Italians) were analyzed through a qualitative-phenomenological method. The results revealed this technique’s positive impact on rehabilitating imprisoned individuals across 3 dimensions: coping, emotion management, and ability to plan the future. Future studies should investigate specific silence-based techniques to support imprisoned individuals’ rehabilitation.

Abstract This study assessed Drug Court employees’ readiness and perceived commitment to peer worker integration. Results demonstrated readiness for change is a precursor of commitment to peer worker integration, and appropriateness and personal benefit are key readiness factors when assessing Drug Court employees’ commitment to peer worker integration. Additionally, the mindset of desire or obligation drives employees’ commitment to change and provides an opportunity to cultivate employees’ behavioral support for peer worker integration. Results suggest that Drug Courts establish initial and ongoing training for staff that focuses on the peer worker’s purpose while also ensuring a strategic communication plan on the role and function of the peer worker. Further, Drug Courts can consider focusing on formally incorporating peer workers into the policies and procedures of Drug Courts and establishing an evaluative process that includes peer workers in terms of Drug Court outcome measures.

Abstract Individuals who had contact with the criminal justice system are at high risk for suicidal ideation and attempts. The links between suicide risk and adverse experiences during the transition from prison to community are not well understood. This study sought to fill that gap by examining adverse reentry experiences as determinants of suicidal ideation among post-incarcerated men and women. Longitudinal data documenting reentry experiences during the first four to eight months after release were analyzed in binary cross tabulations and multivariate regression models. Results indicated that multiple reentry barriers in financial, relational and health domains exerted positive effects on suicidal ideation. Further, gender intersected with reentry barriers to predict suicidal ideation. Post-incarcerated women were more sensitive to relational reentry barriers, whereas health-related barriers exerted an amplified effect on suicidal ideation for their male counterparts. Policy implications and directions for future research are provided.
