Traumatic brain injury support decreases likelihood of returning to prison, saves taxpayer money
A team of Indiana University School of Medicine scientists has developed and tested a new intervention for incarcerated people with traumatic brain injuries.
AI Summary
A study of 91 inmates at Putnamville Correctional Facility with prior traumatic brain injury found that participants who received education on brain injuries, coping‑skills training, anger and aggression management, and a year of post‑release neuro case management were less likely to return to prison or be re‑arrested. The trial, called the Re‑entry Continuum for Brain Injury (RCBI), reported these outcomes in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The findings suggest that targeted TBI support can reduce recidivism and associated taxpayer costs.
