The United States corrections system is one of the largest psychiatric providers in the country, yet many incarcerated people do not receive adequate mental healthcare during their sentences. When ready to re-enter into society, inadequacies in transitional programs continue to challenge former inmates to maintain sobriety and employment. It is important to mention that many people who have served prison sentences have a history of substance abuse related to mental illness. This literature review aims to discuss current practices and the gaps in continued treatment.Type
