The report describes the landscape of reentry services as they exist today, including those services that were enhanced under recent legislative reforms, as well as the services that existed prior to those reforms. The second phase of the Colorado Reentry Systems Mapping project will include a descriptive analysis that builds on this policy landscape by presenting patterns in reentry service delivery across the state. Together, the two phases of the Colorado Reentry Systems Mapping project will provide CDOC with documentation on current reentry services as they plan for future program changes and improvements.

Author: Weinstein, Naomi M. Title: "Who's Pretending to Care for Him?" How the Endless Jail-to-Hospital-to-Street-Repeat Cycle Deprives Persons with Mental Disabilities the Right to Continuity of Care Summary: There is a well-documented "shuttle process" by which individuals committed to psychiatric institutions (having been charged with minor "nuisance"-type criminal offenses) are often stabilized, returned to jail to await trial, and then returned to the hospital following relapse. This shuttling or cycling is bad for many reasons, not least of which is the way that it deprives the cohort of individuals at risk from any meaningful continuity of care. Continuity of care is crucial in order to reduce the rate of incarceration and institutionalization for persons with mental illness. Without this continuity, it is far less likely that any therapeutic intervention will have any long-lasting ameliorative effect. In this paper, we will argue that the current system - in addition to being utterly counter-productive (and in many ways, destructive) – also violates the constitutional right to treatment, and the statutory right to non-discrimination as provided in domestic (the Americans with Disabilities Act) and international (the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) human rights law. This also violates every precept of therapeutic jurisprudence; in this context, we argue that it is necessary for lawyers to integrate these teachings - focusing on the prerequisites of "voice, validation and voluntariness" - in their representation of this population in the hopes that the current system can be ameliorated. In conclusion, we will offer some solutions as to how continuity of care can be improved through mental health courts, programs that support diversion away from incarceration to treatment at an early process in a criminal proceeding, proper mental health screening, expanded access to mental health treatment and better re-entry services, and training for all persons interacting with someone with mental illness.
