: Mental Disability Law BlogMore on Mentally Ill Prisoners? Treatment in NY
By Danielle
New York Legal Update reports that Governor Spitzer has signed Bill No. S06422 (full text available here), explaining in part:
Those inmates with serious mental illness who are not removed from segregated confinement will be offered a heightened level of care, including additional out-of-cell treatment and programming. Mental health clinicians will also conduct periodic mental health assessments of all inmates who remain in segregated confinement.
You can read my earlier coverage of this bill here.
