Conclusion
Abstract
Deinstitutionalization, the closure of mental hospital beds and changes to commitment laws were highly touted initiatives that provided the backbone of mental health reform policies implemented in many countries in the second half of the last century. These initiatives, however, have often been given as reasons for the increasing demands for forensic psychiatric services and an increase in the number of mental patients in prison. The net result of these developments is that patients who receive a label of “forensic” enter into a mental health ghetto with little connectivity or integration with the general mental health system (Arboleda-Florez 2003).
