Paige Doyle University of Phoenix 01/19/2023 CPSS/300 Instructor; William Lee Client #1: 16-Year-Old transgender female juvenile The juvenile in question has been homeless due to family problems, she is also a substance abuse user or there are concerns there that she is one. This female is in need of extra security while incarcerated due to LGBTQ individuals having a harder time in jails/prisons with being bullied a lot, raped, and other things that would affect her from rehabilitation. She also would need a treatment put in place to help get her off substances and get her clean, so she can return to normal life when released. Therapy services are also helpful especially for LGBTQ individuals, talking about feelings help a lot in the rehabilitation of an inmate. Research demonstrates that transgender youth are at an increased risk of being bullied, harassed and physically assaulted. They have higher incidence of suicide attempts. For these reasons, transgender youth face particular challenges in juvenile justice and other correctional systems. This female is in need of people to respect her pronouns, and name. Transgender youth must of access to all educational and recreational programs available to the general youth population. Absent short term safety concerns, it is inappropriate, discriminatory and dangerous for transgender youth to be segregated, isolated or placed in solitary confinement due to resource limitations of the absence of an appropriate setting. Transgender youth are entitled to access to comprehensive psychiatric and other medical care consistent with prevailing national standards and guidelines. These services that are needed for the transgender community would help protect their identity, help them feel comfortable and will work better for their rehabilitation and release. Respecting people of the LGBTQ community while they are incarcerated gives them hope and faith in humanity that they are accepted and will have the resources they need to be themselves ultimately.

Client #2: 54-year-old male with a criminal past of up to 10 years Inmate has a criminal past of up to 10 years in and out of prisons/jails. He has multiple mental health concerns and has committed 3 felonies. He just was recently divorced, and takes heart medication that requires additional management. This 54-year-old male inmate needs to be given treatments that involve mental health evaluations to determine what mental illnesses he may have, he needs to be scheduled to see a doctor weekly for his heart medication or have one provided to him in the prison/jail, and he needs to be charged for all 3 felonies so he would have one sentence for the combined charges. He would need to be in a psychiatric treatment program to manage his mental health, and he would need access to medical care when necessary due to heart problems. I recommend the services provided to him would be recreational so that he is able to stabilize his moods and do something productive while being incarcerated. Group therapy is also an option that would help him when he is diagnosed with any mental illnesses because he can learn that other inmates are struggling also when their thoughts or illnesses and that it is okay, not to be okay. He would need to be monitored daily for suicidal tendencies and if found he has them, he should be transferred immediately to a mental health facility to be treated and once better, he could return to the prison/jail but also should be isolated from other inmates and if available put into a section for just mentally ill inmates for closer supervision and more needs than regular incarcerated individuals. These services could support the males needs by providing him with the help he needs so that he can be a better version of himself, so he can get to the point of rehabilitation and eventually be released after serving the suggesting time. Mental illness and actual physical illness go hand and hand, people that have these and incarcerated are ten times more likely to die or commit suicide. They don’t feel the need to live because there isn’t any to live for they think. This is why these services are beneficial and would help him refrain from hurting himself or not getting the medical attention he so desperately needs.
