Suicide Rate

County Jails

Ignored and underfunded, mental health care thin at county jails

By Rory Linnane, Tegan Wendland and Kate Golden | December 22, 2012

Key findings:

• The state Department of Corrections is charged with oversight but does not evaluate the quality of jails’ mental health care.
• For nearly a quarter-century, the Legislature has required the DOC to collect and summarize annual reports on jails’ mental health care, but most jails have not provided the information, and the DOC acknowledges it has not been asking for them.
• One-third of Wisconsin’s jails have been cited for inadequate suicide prevention efforts.

By Sara Jerving | October 31, 2009

More than 65 percent of depressed mothers don’t get adequate treatment for depression, according to a nationwide study released this fall by the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health.
