The use of restrictive housing, or segregation, to contain high-risk and disruptive behavior in correctional institutions has become an overused and controversial practice. This training discusses the historical origins of restrictive housing, it’s intended functions, and unintended consequences from an empirical and ethical standpoint. We will take a critical look at the scientific and legal debates surrounding the psychological harms associated with restrictive housing placements, including for those with pre-existing mental health issues.
The training closes with an overview of reform trends that aim to reduce the frequency and duration of restrictive housing, with an emphasis on alternative approaches to behavior management that more appropriately and humanely balance rehabilitation and safety goals. Evidence on program efficacy and limitations to implementation will be reviewed. This program is geared toward mental health and other allied professionals at all levels of training who work in carceral settings or with clients involved in the criminal justice system.
