Predictors of Receiving Disability Support Services After Release From Prison in Adults With Intellectual Disability: A Population‐Based Linkage Study From New South Wales, Australia
The findings reflect the challenge presented by the complex needs of those with intellectual disability who are justice-involved. The harmful and perpetuating nature of repeated incarceration for those with intellectual disability must be recognized and responded to. Targeted release planning is needed to improve disability support service receipt, particularly for those who have served long or repeated sentences and those with complex co-occurring mental health needs, with financial and social resource enhancement being ideal additional targets for intervention.
