"Jail recidivism may be an important indicator of the extent to which patients receive psychiatric services in jail, and are involved in a pattern of behaviour that prompts intervention by the criminal justice system" (Draine, Solomon & Meyerson, 1994, p. 163). "The rates of patients return to jail may indicate the relative efficacy of community health services in preventing recidivism" (Draine, Solomon & Meyerson, 1994, p. 163). "Our research may indicate that the boundary between the community and the jail system is crossed more often by a subgroup of jail detainees for whom appropriate effective community treatment is not readily available" (Draine, Solomon & Meyerson, 1994, p. 166).
