National Criminal Justice Month

About two million times each year, people with serious mental illness are booked into jails. Roughly two in five people who are incarcerated have a history of mental illness, about double the rate of the general U.S. population. 

Nationwide, people with mental illness and their families need more information and improved access to resources. This month, please join NAMI National in reaching out to local community leaders, courts, and supporters to educate them about NAMI’s criminal justice policy priorities and share resources.  

We have created a toolkit for National Criminal Justice Month to help guide your outreach during March and beyond.  

More Information

NAMI’s “Navigating the Criminal Justice System” Guide 

People with mental illness who become involved with the criminal justice system, and their families, need better access to information and resources to help them understand courts and avenues to advocate for loved ones. 
 

The new guide, “Navigating the Criminal Justice System,” will help readers gain a better understanding about the overall criminal justice system and its impact on people with mental illness.
