SCI 324 Week 3 – Discussion Find two academic articles related to your issue and address the following questions: How is this issue discussed in academic research as opposed to the mainstream media? What evidence is used in each source? How effective does the evidence seem in each source and why? What solutions, If any, are proposed for the issue in the sources? The topic selected for this discussion is “prisons as mental health institutions.” The articles titled County Jail or Psychiatric Hospital? Ethical challenges in Correctional Mental Health Care and Barriers and Facilitators to Effective mental health Care in Correctional Settings. It is essential to remember that when it comes to the difference between mainstream media and academic research is that many times, mainstream media has no credibility or credible sources to support the claim they make. When it comes to research academically, content must have the approval by professionals in the research area that is explored before the work can be published. When it comes to the County Jail or Psychiatric Hospital article, Ethical Challenges in Correctional Mental Health Care, the authors researched on how facility personnel reconcile ethical challenges faced when treating individuals diagnosed with serious mental illnesses. Evidence provided by the authors in this article was based on evidence from previous studies mentioned in the article. Also, this evidence was used to build and form new approaches for researchers to study this topic in the future. However, a formal solution is not proposed, and the study conducted by these authors supported continual reformation of policies necessary for reducing the number of inmates suffering from mental illness incarcerated. If this story was covered by the mainstream news media, no investigation would be conducted that focuses on exploring the cause of the lack of providing proper mental health care, there would only be speculations and finger pointing for the blame (Kolodziejczak & Sinclair, 2018). Indicated in the second article, Barriers and Facilitators to Effective Mental health Care in Correctional Settings, the authors identified barriers preventing effective mental health care and provided their focus on discussing how to achieve proper and effective care services in the future. Also, indicated in this article was several potential solutions to solve the issue, for instance, providing proper training for correctional staff on mental health, a two-tier screening process used to identify people suffering from mental illness, and a correct assessment of mental illness used with studies for classifying the mental health disorders most apparent within prisons. I do not believe there is credible sources to back their claims (Segal, Frasso, & Sisti, 2018). Kolodziejczak, O., & Sinclair, S. (2018).
