With more than 10 million individuals in prison at any given time and more than 30 million circulating through each year, the inmate population represents a large part of our communities. Roughly 27 percent of state and federal prisoners have been told by a mental health provider that they have a mental health disorder, and many do not receive services in jail that they need to manage it.
Texas A&M’s Telehealth Counseling Clinic now is providing inmates with direct contact to qualified counselors, through video conferencing and wireless communications.
