Every day, in every community in the United States, law enforcement agencies, courts, and correctional institutions are witness to a parade of misery brought on by untreated or under-treated mental illnesses. According to the most recent prevalence estimates, roughly 16.9% of jail detainees (14.5% of men and 31.0% of women) experience SMI. Considering that in 2018 law enforcement nationwide made an estimated 10.3 million arrests, this suggests that more than 1.7 million involved people with SMIs. It is estimated that three-quarters of these individuals also experience co-occurring substance use disorders, which increases the likelihood of becoming involved in the justice system. On any given day, approximately 380,000 people with mental illnesses are incarcerated in jails and prisons across the United States.
