This study assessed the mental health needs of those housed at Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility (PCRDF). We wanted to know what mental health programs could help this population, and used common mental health screeners and open-ended questions to assess prevalence of common behavioral health conditions as well as individuals’ perspectives on the programming that they desired. About one-third of the sample were women.
