Rural Jails & Telemedicine Opportunities with Dr. Eric Connolly

  • Summary

  • Telemedicine has greatly increased opportunities for mental health treatment, especially in isolated and rural areas. Texas prisons have taken advantage of telemedicine options, but access is more limited and complicated in local jails. This week, we're joined by Dr. Eric Connolly, associate professor of criminal justice and criminology at Sam Houston State University, to explore his research on opportunities and challenges for telemedicine and mental health in jails and prisons. Dr. Connolly's paper is An Evaluation of the Current Infrastructure for Treating Mental Illness In Texas Correctional Facilities.
