随着美国监狱人口的增加，满足囚犯在监禁前、监禁期间和监禁后的心理健康需求仍然是一个障碍。囚犯的心理健康体验是什么？对于哪些类型的问题，服刑人员愿意寻求帮助，他们利用服务的障碍是什么？这项研究调查了囚犯对心理健康服务的态度和看法，并调查了这些态度和看法是否因种族群体成员身份或不同安全级别的囚犯而有所不同。这些发现对心理学家，包括没有受雇于惩教机构的心理学家的影响，被强调出来。
With the increasing rise in the U.S. prison population, meeting the mental health needs of inmates before, during, and after incarceration remains an obstacle. What are the mental health experiences of inmates? For what types of problems are inmates willing to seek help, and what are the barriers to their service utilization? This study investigated inmates' attitudes and perceptions toward mental health services and examined whether these attitudes and perceptions vary with respect to ethnic group membership or among inmates of differing security levels. Implications of these findings for psychologists, including psychologists not employed in correctional settings, are highlighted.
