| Annotation | Mental health care in prisons involves many stakeholders. As a consequence, the goals involved are divergent, but there is no sound theoretical framework that accounts for the complexity of care in prison. This paper considers a broad theory and its conceptual framework that differentiates between: prisoners with emotional suffering and those without; the need for care from an objective point of view as opposed to a subjective one; and the need for care related to mental health problems versus care related to limiting recidivism. The paper considers the Dutch situation in particular, and the actual care and treatment in Dutch prisons is described. (RH). |
