Abstract

This chapter examines contemporary approaches to rehabilitation for people who come into contact with the criminal-legal system. Using the sequential intercept model as an organizing framework, we outline prominent models utilized across the criminal-legal system within one state in the Midwestern region of the United States by focusing on programming for adults with mental illnesses and substance use disorders. These models are discussed within the historical backdrop of treatment for people with mental illnesses and retribution within the United States.
