Dr. Stephen B. Oladipo continues to educate audiences and shine a light on the U.S. prison system in his book Effective Management of Mental Illness Without Widening Recidivism in Contemporary Correctional Setting.

Effective Management of Mental Illness Without Widening Recidivism in Contemporary Correctional Setting uses the Illinois Department of Corrections as a case study to analyze the intersection of effective mental health programming and reduction in societal crime-rate. From landmark rulings in cases like Rasho v. Baldwin to social theories on criminal justice approaches throughout history, Dr. Oladipo provides a comprehensive perspective on the economic impact, social effects and budgetary burdens of re-incarcerating offenders after release(s) from imprisonment.

Unlike other books that examine the underlying trajectories of the so-called “career criminals,” Dr. Oladipo’s work provides thoughtful recommendations to mitigate recidivism which places the impetus for change on society as well. From the modern era of urban-life-style socialization approach to child-rearing and, to the institutional approach of addressing the menace; mental illness degenerates to systemic complexity within the American society and correctional facilities become the repositories. Dr. Oladipo’s propositions are an explicit rewrite of the negative trend to positive narrative of economic benefits. Since, in all the above, taxpayers are responsible for the increasing costs of repeat arraignments, trials, and appeals. Effective Management of Mental Illness Without Widening Recidivism in Contemporary Correctional Setting therefore delves into these resulting costs and the impact on the country as a whole to emphasize that the recidivism-challenge must be treated as a national problem.

Without doubt, “Effective Management of Mental Illness Without Widening Recidivism in Contemporary Correctional Setting” is definitely an insightful book that will appeal to policymakers, mental health practitioners, and private-sector entities that operate within the criminal justice system. A glowing review from The US Review of Books describes Dr. Oladipo’s work as “a compelling read” and applauds his “passionate voice and writing style.”

Effective Management of Mental Illness Without Widening Recidivism in Contemporary Correctional Setting is available for purchase on Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and/or wherever books are sold.
