Abstract: With almost 1 in every 33 Americans having some involvement in the criminal justice system, now is the time for prion reform. In 1992, more Americans with mental illness were in prison then in state mental hospitals. In addition, drug and alochol problems are one of the highest reasons for incarceration. Behavior analysis has developed evidenced based techniques for managing this population. This panel will discuss where the state of the research is and where it needs to go in this growing crisis.
