RISP Data Bytes: Jails, Prisons, and Large State Institutions: Selected Years 1985 to 2023
WebDescription
Many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who live in state-run facilities of 16 or more people have had previous criminal involvement. In 2023, 19% of people admitted to these facilities came from jails and prisons, and 16% of people leaving these facilities went to jails and prisons. In order to best support people with IDD and criminal backgrounds to leave institutions, they will need skilled support workers to ensure they remain safe and can thrive in their communities.
