Discussion on how three professions collaborate to understand the medical, criminological, and social barriers that result in high risk populations to become frequent victims and perpetrators of violence, cycling in and out of hospitals and jails. Through data analysis and research, these three perspectives allow an opportunity to look deeper into the psychologic and behavioral issues, and focus on prevention and intervention approaches to reduce recidivism in both systems

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss collaborative approach to caring for the incarcerated population from jail, academic, and medical perspective
2. Address parallel issues related to recidivism in the health care and criminal justice systems
3. Understanding the social inequities and barriers to access resources that lead to behavioral crisis upon entry into the criminal justice system
4. Incorporate multi-system data sources to identify gaps to streamline processes to improve prevention and intervention efforts in the detained population
