Abstract
This chapter describes how a forensically involved person who is mentally ill might go through a criminal justice system (CJS) that uses the proposed Best Practice Model (BPM). We understand that the costs of some of what we are recommending may exceed the current budget allocated for this population. We are also aware that the people who will utilize these services have tremendous needs in many areas besides medical and psychological, such as housing and other types of social services. Nonetheless, we have developed our BPM as the theoretical model, as if there were no constraints, understanding that all communities will have to prioritize its finite resources.
