2009	I was in Corrections when Corrections weren't cool...	William Marek PhD	Psychology CD	10572	This presentation will include a review of the historical facts and growth of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, selected U.S. states prison systems and several international prison systems, in terms of their budgets, programs, growth, direction, focus, and progress. Attendees will be able to: 1) enumerate the forces that have impacted different prison systems and how/why they have evolved and changed; 2) enumerate the What Works literature related to prisons; 3) enumerate facts and disputes used to dispel the many incorrect and negative perceptions about prisons. Dr. William Marek has been with the Federal Bureau of Prisons for 20 years, and is author of Symbolic Thinking as a Unifying Force of Change.
2008	"He does OK in here"-assessing adaptive deficits in long-term prison inmates	Timothy D. Derning, PhD	psychology CD	10814	The U.S. Supreme Court's Atkins decision (2002) focused awareness on intellectual disability (old term=mental retardation) in capital cases and elsewhere. Post-conviction relief is sometimes sought. Some inmates spend nearly all of their lives in prisons and institutions; they never had a job, never cooked a meal, cashed a check, or paid a bill. While IQ scores may be the "quarter-back" of an ID diagnosis, adaptive ability is a major prong of a disability assessment where the real diagnostic issues are held or lost. The Vineland Scales and other instruments were not designed for a prison population. What strategies might psychologists use to evaluate adaptive ability in someone who has been locked up for 20 years? Is it enough for our assessment that they "do OK" in prison? Problems associated with evaluations of long-term inmates suspected of head injury and/or DD will be addressed, and suggestions for valid assessment strategies of adaptive ability, and for court testimony will be offered.
2008	Unweaving the enigma of endangered psychiatric ethics in corrections	Richard L. Grant, M.D.	psychiatry CD	10619	Widely acknowledged as our contemporary de facto mental hospitals, the correctional institutions of the United States contain many inmates with recognized and yet to be recognized mental disorders affecting their behavior or mental suffering. As "total institutions" (Goffman) with many sometimes conflicting goals and purposes, our jails and prisons nevertheless are required by statute to provide mental health treatment for those inmates. The compromises to the full ethical provision of that care by psychiatrists are profound. This presentation attempts to lay bare and disentangle the diverse influences leading to these compromises. By such clarification, perhaps a way forward for achieving maximally ethical and improved psychiatric care in our correctional institutions may be derived.--Richard L. Grant, M.D. is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria, and practices forensic psychiatry.
2008	He does ok in here : assessing adaptive deficits in long-term prison inmates	Timothy Derning, M.S.Ed., Ph.D.	psychology CD	10655	The U.S. Supreme Court's Atkins decision (2002) focused awareness on intellectual disability (old term=mental retardation) in capital cases and elsewhere.

2007	Assessment and Treatment of an Exonerated Prisoner	Donna Veraldi, PhD Marian Martin PhD	psychology CD	10332	Attendees will be able to explain the process and problems of evaluating and attempting to treat an adult who has a history of adverse childhood experiences and who has an overlay of adult stress and trauma. Approaches to evaluation and interpretation of results will be discussed. Use of psychophysiological measures as part of a comprehensive assessment of trauma will also be considered. Jimmy Bromgard was exonerated of a rape conviction. Bromgard, who was only 18 when he was convicted, was released after 15 1/2 years in prison. He is now suing the state of Montana.
2007	The Psychological Concomitants of Capital Punishment: Thematic Analysis of Last Statements from Death Row	Sharon Foley MD, MRCPsych Brendan Kelly MD	psychiatry journal	7042	There is a high prevalence of mental illness among prisoners awaiting execution but a dearth of information about the psychological concomitants of imminent execution. We used an adapted version of the Thematic Guide for Suicide Prediction to study predominant themes and psychological factors in last statements made by all death row prisoners executed in Texas between April 2002 and November 2006. The most common themes were spirituality, regret and love. The psychological factors most evident were identification-egression (associated with nonsexual offending, admitting to offense and expressing love), unbearable psychological pain (associated with younger age at offense and shorter period on death row) and rejection-aggression (associated with sexual offending, spiritual references, anger and absence of regret). There is similarity in psychological factors in last statements from death row and suicide notes, suggesting a convergence of psychological concerns at the end of life, regardless of the circumstances of imminent death.

2004	Quality of life instrument in prison: detecting disability, external validity, and factor structure	Bruce Way PhD Charles Buscema MD Donald Sawyer PhD	psychology journal	6215	The Quality of Life in Prison (Q-LIP) instrument detected various levels of disability in the population. Increasing Q-LIP disability corresponded with increasing mental health service need classification, type of psychiatric diagnosis, and presence of psychosis and impulsiveness. A factor analysis produced a model with four factors, which explained 66% of the variance. The factors were a) serious mental illness, b) anger/violence, c) satisfaction/optimism, and d) judgment.
2003	Sex offender screening in prison	Jim Mann PhD, Judith Mann PhD	psychology journal	8194	no abstract
2003	A forensic psychiatrist s experiences at Pelican Bay State Prison in California	Stan Milstone MD	psychiatry journal	1373	Most of us are familiar with the forbidding reputation of Pelican Bay State Prison, (PBSP) made famous to the man and woman in the street as the prison where the toughest of the tough get put, and where the prisoners raise killer dogs ! So, why did a retired-ten-year, mild mannered psychiatrist decide to move from the beautiful Napa Valley vineyards to a God forsaken place like Crescent City and Pelican Bay State Prison? I enjoyed the experience, and fulfilled a personal goal to bring good medical treatment to a neglected population. I have believed that as a physician, I had an obligation to help those in need, without considering whether it would or would not further me professionally and financially. I envied those who did and I felt guilty that I had not. Fortunately, I found employment that did both, and worked at the prison for one year.
2002	Sex offender screening in prison	Jim Mann PhD	psychology tape	2036	Once sex offenders enter prison, they do not suddenly stop their deviant behaviors. They may continue to act on their impulses, but often in a modified form. Additionally, some inmates without sex offense convictions become sexual predators within prison. Prison psychologists are called upon to evaluate inmates who may be at risk of acting out in a sexually aggressive manner toward other inmates or staff, and to assess the inmate s eligibility for sex offender treatment programs and supervision concerns prior to release. Attendees will be able to explain the need for sex offender evaluations within a prison setting, list the type of screening tools available, conduct a clinical interview tailored to the evaluation question, and explain the results of a risk assessment for future sexual deviancy to prison administrators.
2002	Sexual assault of boys incarcerated in jails	Wade Myers MD	psychiatry journal	816	The sexual assault of juvenile males incarcerated in jails is a neglected, understudied problem. Moreover, a paucity of professional literature on this topic exists. Available information pertaining to minors in jails or similar settings supplemented when relevant with literature pertaining to adult inmates is reviewed. Three case examples of boys in jails, each sexually assaulted by multiple offenders, are presented.
2000	Assessment and treatment of dually-diagnosed inmates	Igor Koutzenok, M.D.	psychiatry tapes	1103	An interface between forensic and correctional psychiatry, this panel will explore meaningful interventions for dually diagnosed inmates. An overview of outcome findings models with proven effectiveness, and an assessment screening treatment, matching decision-making pathway will be presented. This pathway will include the instruments recommended for appropriate assessment, as well as recommendations for aftercare, once the inmate is paroled. The panel will discuss the significance of these models and recommendations in terms of pending legislation.
2000	Lifer inmates as political prisoners -implications for mental health outcomes	Janice Thomas PhD	psychology tape	1008	Since the governor of California was granted veto power of the Board of Prison Terms' (BPT) parole decisions, the number of lifer inmates who are granted parole has drastically decreased. The process has become increasingly political and would seem to be less objective. Although rates of suicidal ideation, gestures, acts, and other mental health outcomes are unknown, it is suggested that the BPT policies and the current and recent California governors' vetoes are causative. Attendees will learn the criteria for granting parole and the relevant California statutes, as well as ways in which the BPT, operating in a closed system, can ignore these criteria. They will also learn how to hypothesize probable mental health outcomes given conditions of learned helplessness, and how to identify appropriate interventions.
1999	Impact of courts and legal mandates on prison mental health services- landmark cases	Richard May MD	psychiatry tapes	1164	Attendees will learn about important landmark court cases and consent decrees that have resulted in changes in the mental health services delivery system and will also learn of serious mental health problems that still exist in our prisons.
1999	Evaluation of the Familyships Treatment Module for sexual assault inmates at a medium security federal institution	Donald Nobbs MA Roger Holden PhD	psychology journal	1313	The effectiveness of a Familyships Treatment Module offered at a medium security federal institution was explored. The Module was designed to help inmates build social skills to deal with dysfunctional family systems. Participants included sexual offenders and inmates convicted of other types of offenses. For the study, a measure of codependency that relates to personality deficiencies common to sex offenders was administered to forty-six inmates.

1997	Prevalence of psychiatric disorders and service use among women prisoners	Heidi Hutton, Ph.D	psychology tape	1253	The conclusion of this study of 177 women prisoners that included a review of subjects' medical and mental health records was that women prisoners exhibit high rates of mental disorders but only a minority receive appropriate treatment. The study was part of the Hopkins Women Prisoners Study. Diagnostic prevalence revealed a high percentage of substance dependence: alcohol dependence (32%) sedative hypnotic dependence (15%), marijuana abuse (21%), cocaine dependence (64%), opioid dependence (46%). Other significant diagnostic categories included major depression (36%) and PTSD (15%). Only 29% of the sample with current and 21% with lifetime, mental disorders were receiving specific pharmacologic treatments.
1997	Mental health service within California s largest women s prison (Chowchilla)	Phyllis Kaufman PhD, LCSW Harrison E	psychology tape	9096	In response to inmate litigation, the courts have mandated the establishment of several comprehensive mental health programs within California state prisons. Reception center screening, correctional clinical case management, enhanced outpatient program, mental health crisis beds, and administrative segregation screening will be discussed. Participants will understand the need for improved mental health services within California s Department of Corrections, learn from the trials, errors, and successful experience of a forensic psychologist and a forensic psychiatrist who developed the mandated programs within the nation s largest women s correctional facility, and apply this learning experience to staff and service development practices within other correctional facilities and forensic mental health service programs nationwide.
1996	Criteria-based content analysis of inmates' statements	Cheryl K. Hiscock, PhD	psychology tape	10021	Criteria-Based Content Analysis (CBCA) has been useful in determining the credibility of statements by alleged suspects and victims of child sexual abuse. However, little research has explored the efficacy of CBCA in these cases, where adult eyewitnesses intentionally prevaricate. The present study employed CBCA to assess prison inmate testimonies, in an attempt to detect differences between honest failures of memory and deliberate distortion. Use of Statement Validity Analysis (SVA) as a tool for evaluating testimony of litigants and witnesses, and progress in efforts to modify the system to make it more applicable within U.S. jurisprudence, will be discussed.

1993	Workers' compensation with female corrections officers in a men's prison	John S. Hand, PhD	psychology tape	1380	Female corrections officers are subject to a unique and complex set of stressors in the already complicated subculture of life in a men's prison. This makes them particularly susceptible to job related psychological impairment and creates special diagnostic problems. The initial determination and eventual psychological defense during depositions and court is discussed in light of worker's compensation laws.
1992	Rehabilitation programs for women's prisons- review of the literature	Donna Veraldi PhD	psychology tape	1943	This literature review is being done in preparation for the development of a new women's prison in Montana. The process involves reviewing model programs as well as the review of relevant literature and developing an awareness of women's issues in a correctional facility. Once the information is available, it will be used as the basis for developing suggestions for programming in the new prison. The author has served as staff psychologist in the diagnostic and observation unit of the Federal Medical Center in Rochester, Minnesota.

1992	500 psychiatric assessments- characteristics of a prison population	Joseph A Noone MD	psychiatry journal	738	Psychiatric assessments for parole purposes are provided to the National Parole Board of Canada to assist in making decisions about an inmate's suitability for progression through the prison and/or parole system. Referrals are made via the inmate's parole officer and an extensive file is provided which contains pertinent information for assessment. The information presented in this article is a description of the first 500 parole assessments completed by the first author over an eight year period. This data represent either offenders who are of particular concern to the assigned parole officer or the Parole Board or inmates who are scheduled for systematic review that requires psychiatric evaluation. Description of these offenders provides an interesting glimpse at individuals being considered for progression through the prison/parole system.
1991	Treating the inmate who has exhibited assaultive behavior	Charlene Steen PhD, JD	psychology tape	1920	Many jail inmates are in prison because of assaultive behavior; others exhibit lesser impulse control problems. Speaker discusses impulse control groups in the jail setting objectives and treatment modalities.
1991	Developing trends in prisoners' rights to mental health treatment	Fait Leibman MA, JD Neil Leibman JD	psychology journal	5153	Courts have been exceedingly slow in recognizing the constitutional rights of the mentally impaired to treatment. This has been true both in mental health facilities as well as correctional institutions. It is interesting to note that the historical development of rights to treatment for prisoners and mental patients have not only followed similar paths, but have, on numerous occasions, complemented each other.

1988	Oakdale and Atlanta -firsthand accounts of federal prison uprisings	Daniel V Foster PsyD	psychology tape	10165	Two of the largest prison riots in the U.S. 120 Hostages, one inmate killed, were taken by Cuban prisoners. Fortunately the detainees failed to break out.
1988	Crime and mental illness as observed in the county jail	Alfred E. Fireman, MD	psychiatry tapes	1825	People in county jail are innocent people, that is to say, they have been arrested and have been found deserving of the experience of trial; they have, for whatever reason, not met bail bond or otherwise found a way out of incarceration until due justice and due process has been afforded them, but they prevail as innocent people. Just because a person is behind bars does not mean that he is guilty of the crime for which he has been arrested. There is also discussion of of the plight of the chronically mentally and emotionally ill who are in and out of the prison system, and the failure of the criminal justice system in rehabilitating inmates. The speaker urges privatization of jails as a hopeful alternative to the county and state s fiscal failures and humanitarian failures alike. There needs to be prison reform in the US.
1988	Release of dangerous, mentally disordered patients- psychiatric probation- a reasonable disposition	Michael Cleary MD	psychiatry tape	7000	Two disorders rarely seen in clinical practice appear to be diagnosed with some frequency in criminal defendants: dissociative disorders and temporal lobe epilepsy. A successful defense based on these disorders may be followed by the outright release of the defendant, with no provision for followup or treatment.
1987	Suicide following arrest and lockup	Bruce Danto MD	psychiatry journal	6025	In most cases, inmate suicides are preventable and the causes apparent. An individual who has just been arrested and detained in lockup is very often in a mentally disordered state of mind. Unless proper precautions are taken at both the arrest stage and the phase following incarceration, suicide may be expected to occur in a significant number of cases.
1986	Abuses of psychiatry in a correctional setting-San Quentin prison	Robert Slater MD	psychiatry journal	5282	San Quentin psychiatrist views a maximum security prison as a laboratory for the study of the abuses of psychiatry, because of the nature of the clientele and the harshness of the milieu. He discusses the four major sources of abuse: inmates, line staff, parole board and the administration which, he complains, exerts intolerable and inescapable pressures on psychiatrists. The author is very frank in his descriptions of prison life, stating, for example, The abuse of psychiatry by the parole board is rather straightforward and so is the solution. The parole board will routinely quote the psychiatrist s written report if it is unfavorable to the inmate and will disregard the report if it is favorable. And, elsewhere, The most flagrant abuses of psychiatry in a correctional setting are abuses by the administration. The administration exerts pressures on psychiatrists, both subtle and overt, which are intolerable and inescapable. The Warden at San Quentin is the overall supervisor of all personnel. By its nature a prison, particularly a maximum security prison, such as San Quentin, utilizes strict, authoritarian methods of supervision, characterized by intimidation and pressure.
1985	Evaluation and treatment of sex offenders-inadequacy of incarceration	Fred Berlin MD, PhD	psychiatry tapes	10065	Author discusses assessment, etiology, treatment and forensic issues with regard to sex offenders, focusing on the need for treatment by sex offenders and inadequacy of incarceration.
1985	Fathers who commit incest- jail or treatment?	Jamshid Marvasti MD	psychiatry journal	5172	Father daughter incest; the father as a "regressed offender;" the reasons for incest and adjunctive family distress are explored by director of incest clinic. Case histories are presented. alternatives of incarceration vs. treatment are weighed.
1985	Reduction of patient violence without recourse to punishment	Daniel Davis PhD Joseph Schumacher MA	psychology journal	6026	Because of the current emphasis on dangerousness as a behavioral attribute for involuntary hospitalization, a large cohort of violent individuals are now found in psychiatric hospitals and the likelihood of violent behavior in institutions is increasing. The design of inpatient programming to address and treat the violent psychiatric patient is a priority to assure a safe and humane treatment environment. This article describes a program of this nature, reports the effects upon the level of violence on the wards and describes the results of a staff survey concerning the program.
1984	Punishment of young the mentally ill offender - State of Nevada v. Patrick Lizotte	Franklin Master MD	psychiatry journal	5220	Prior to trial, heavy doses of Navane were administered to a 17-year-old defendant on trial for having killed his psychology teacher possibly inducing a comatose state, making it impossible for him to assist in his own defense. Author evaluated the defendant and diagnosed him as having schizophrenia and unable to distinguish right from wrong.
1983	Punishment	Marvin Ziporyn MD	psychiatry journal	6056	"The point I am making is that really we do not know what crime or immorality are, but we are certainly convinced that we must punish nevertheless. How do we punish and what are the results of it?"
1979	Are crowded jails harmful?	Robert Sommer MD	psychiatry journal	10283	Author discusses evidence and research that would be admissible in jail crowding cases, addressing this important paper to forensic psychiatric and psychological experts who testify on harm resulting from jail crowding.
