Brain injury is common in incarcerated populations. Brain injury has been noted as a variable that increases risk for re-offending. This presentation will review ongoing research studies of over 700 incarcerated youth who have been followed up for an average of 10 years. Predictors of re-offending, including brain injury, will be reviewed. In addition, neuroimaging data from the youth, as it related to brain injury and psychiatric risk variables, will also be reviewed.

After attending this session, you will be able to:

1) Summarize the unique aspects of brain injury management in individuals in correctional facilities; and,
2) Describe the impact of brain injury in the correctional setting along with co-occurring problems.
