SPRINGFIELD, IL – As a result of reduced state and federal funding, jails and prisons have become de facto mental health facilities at both local and national levels.

The Sangamon County Jail’s inmate population has exceeded its 285-beds capacity every year since 2002. For the past 16 years, the jail’s population has averaged 336, due in part to a significant increase in the proportion of court-involved individuals with mental illness (MI) or co-occurring substance abuse (CMISA).

According to the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts (AOIC), 22% of all mental health cases filed in Illinois counties outside of Cook County/Chicago in 2015 and 17%

Tuesday, Sept. 17, was the second annual National Suicide Awareness Day. At SIU Medicine, faculty, staff and learners took a moment of silence to remember, mourn, pay tribute to and send love to those in our community lost to suicide. The annual day of remembrance and awareness was begun last year by residency program directors in Emergency Medicine to commemorate those in health care that we have lost to suicide and raise awareness of the problem and how to get help.
