BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL  I(0 12-k



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Prison Mental Health Care Can Be

Improved By Better Management

And More Effective Federal Aid



The mental health care delivery systems of
most prisons do not identify all inmates
needing help or provide proper care. The
systems have been   hindered  by  limited
funding and personnel shortages; but man-
agers could begin to improve them by using
staff better, maintaining complete, well-
organized  records, and   monitoring  and
evaluating programs more intensively.

This report contains recommendations on
how the Bureau of Prisons could improve
its system for providing inmates with mental
health care. It also discusses ways in which
programs conducted  by   several Federal
agencies could be used to help States im-
prove their prison mental health services.
