Abstract
Over the last few years, a growing number of mentally ill offenders has been involved in New York City criminal justice system (NY, USA). The effects of de-institutionalization and the enforcement of a “zero tolerance” policing, are among other reasons, responsible for the criminalization of this population, leading to a massive incarceration of mentally ill offenders in New York city jails and state prisons. The importance attached to health and social care within the correctionnal facilities show the attention heeded to “mentally ill” offenders in general. The lack of discharge planning in the city jails and the persistence of the “revolving door” phenomenon have yet given rise to innovative approaches, making the New York experience a place worthy of serious study.
