Repairing Shattered LivesRepairing Shattered Lives
"In this report the University of Exeter goes further and details the impact that a brain injury can have on a young person’s behaviour and life, and highlights the relationship between receiving an acquired brain injury and involvement in the criminal justice system. It draws together the important research from the UK and abroad to show that there is a high prevalence of acquired brain injuries among those in the criminal justice system, many of whom have received little or no treatment, and whose injury has not been taken into account at any stage of the process."

"Many people in prisons and jails are living with traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related problems that complicate their management and treatment while they are incarcerated. Because most prisoners will be released, these problems will also pose challenges when they return to the community. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognizes TBI in prisons and jails as an important public health problem."
