Reintegration after prison for prisoners with interlinked welfare needs has been one of the most challenging issues for decades in the criminal justice system. The WHO and the UN highlight the demand for well-functioning collaboration between professionals and welfare agencies handling these challenges. However, interprofessional collaboration has been an underdeveloped field of research and theory, especially concerning prisoners with substance abuse issues. The present study undertakes a scoping review of research on interprofessional collaboration in reintegration after prison for prisoners with substance abuse issues, particularly identifying factors that influence collaboration. Nineteen included studies from the USA, the U.K., Australia, and Norway show that relational and structural factors influence collaboration and that innovative projects are perceived as improving collaboration. A tentative conceptual model of factors that influence collaboration is presented and may serve as a basis for reflection and further development of a theoretical framework within the field of research.

Abstract Date Presented 04/13/21 This scoping review analyzed OT practice in justice-based systems as depicted in 140 sources appearing in publications between 1943 and 2019. This analysis may inform students, practitioners, and researchers and support efforts to define a distinct role for OTs in justice-based systems. Results may help define competencies or practice guidelines and inform the development of practices, programs, and research addressing the needs of individuals involved in the criminal justice system.

Principles Of Justice

Historically, priority of the criminal justice system was always to establish the guilt of the accused and provide a punishment to the offender. Even after the advent of scientific criminology, focus was on all aspects of the offender, to the complete neglect of the victim. Victim was always treated as a witness, and victim justice has been a struggle throughout the world. Many scholars and criminal justice administrators recommended urgent measures to improve the conditions of victims, particularly after the historic Report of President’s Task Force in 1982 in the USA. Since then a victimological movement emerged which culminated in the creation of UN Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power, 1985. In this article, the emergence of victimological movement, its impact and the subsequent developments in India are discussed.

High Degree

The innovative, successful and widely replicated Weekend Intervention Program (WIP) has been highly effective in identifying and intervening with persons charged with alcohol (and other drug) related driving offenses. WIP's model approach allows a high degree of specificity in assigning individuals to the most appropriate treatment setting and successfully prepares the offender for the substance abuse services to be received, therefore, addressing a major impediment to successful treatment — early drop out. Expanded utilization of a program such as WIP can greatly enhance the therapeutic and cost effectiveness of criminal justice system treatment efforts and help establish a viable productive partnership between the criminal justice system and the substance abuse treatment community. In this article the authors describe WIP, its clinical approach and evaluation, and comment upon the benefits of its wider use.

Motivating Factor

This article presents descriptive statistics on the 66 suicides occurring in federal institutions in Canada over a 4-year period. Criminological and institutional factors of those who committed suicide included lengthy involvement in the criminal justice system, a greater likelihood of being incarcerated for robbery or murder, and involvement in institutional incidents of a serious nature. In addition, 62% of the inmates who committed suicide had been transferred from other institutions within 6 months prior to suicide, though 59% evidenced no indicators of suicidal intent and 44% were not considered to be depressed at the time of suicide. Family problems (29%) were the most commonly hypothesized motivating factor in the suicides, followed by denial of a request for appeal, parole, or transfer (26%), fear of other inmates (24%), and substance abuse problems (21%). Current and planned suicide prevention and intervention strategies of the Correctional Service of Canada are discussed in the context of these findings.
