Emergency Summit on Mental Illness, Substance Abuse, and Criminal Justice Thursday, November 10, 2005 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

OVERVIEW

Please join the collaborative effort to bring together community members and relevant public and private professionals to address issues relating to mental illness, substance abuse, and the criminal justice system. The Oklahoma Department of Corrections indicates 72 percent of incarcerated females and 32 percent of incarcerated males in our state have mental health needs. Of those individuals with a mental illness, 57 percent were incarcerated for non-violent offenses. The Oklahoma County Jail, on any given day, may have as many as 500 persons with a mental illness in the jail population. A systematic approach must be developed to address criminal justice issues relating to appropriate non-violent offenders with a mental illness or substance abuse disorder. At this Summit, nationally known experts and Oklahoma leaders will present facts that will help us enhance and expand our work on evidence-based programs, practices, and policies for non-violent offenders who have substance abuse, mental illness, or co-occurring disorders.

PURPOSE STATEMENT

The Summit’s purpose is to engage communities in establishing alternatives to incarceration for persons with mental illness, substance abuse, and co-occurring disorders and to promote development of strategies for reintegrating these individuals into the community.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Develop an action plan to be distributed to the Legislature and relevant agencies that will serve as a vehicle for systems change.

Describe target populations appropriate for alternatives to incarceration and reintegration programs.

Review and expand upon work begun by the Governor’s and Attorney General’s Task Force on Mental Illness, Substance Abuse and Domestic Violence.

Identify model programs and creative approaches for diversion and reintegration efforts.

List elements necessary for successful diversion and re-entry efforts.

Describe how to use existing funding, capitalize on existing resources, and secure additional revenues.

Explain how the community can get involved in diversion and reintegration efforts.

FEATURED SPEAKERS

Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton, of the Supreme Court of Ohio, came to the bench by a very different route. She was born to missionary parents in Bangkok, Thailand, and spent her childhood in Southeast Asia, attending boarding school in South Vietnam during the height of the Vietnam War, and later in Malaysia, coming to America periodically with her parents. At age 18, she returned to America alone with only a few hundred dollars in her pocket. She worked her way through school, receiving a Juris Doctor degree from The Ohio State University College of Law.

Justice Stratton's legal career began in the courtrooms of central Ohio as a trial lawyer. In 1989, as the first woman judge to be elected to the Franklin County Common Pleas Court, she presided over major cases ranging from capital murder trials to major civil actions. In her years on the bench, she established a solid record of judicial integrity, fairness, and diligence. Her approach to sentencing in serious felony cases earned her the nickname "The Velvet Hammer." Her work on the court led to her appointment, and subsequent election, to the Ohio Supreme Court.

Justice Stratton is also committed to her community and her efforts have helped lead to major changes in adoption law. As chairperson of a national committee, Justice Stratton has led a nationwide effort to speed up adoption appeals. She has also provided strong leadership as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Prevent Blindness Ohio.

With a partnership between courts and the mental health system, Justice Stratton believes many defendants whose mental illness is the basis of their criminal activity can be helped and their lives improved. She formed the Supreme Court of Ohio Advisory Committee on Mentally Ill in the Courts, a task force that includes mental health, legal, and criminal justice professionals from around the state. The advisory committee focuses on mental health initiatives in the court system and how to effectively implement such programs.

Henry J. Steadman, Ph.D. Henry J. Steadman, Ph.D., has been President of Policy Research Associates, Inc. since he founded it in 1987. Previously, Dr. Steadman ran a nationally known research bureau for 17 years for the New York State Office of Mental Health. His work has resulted in eight books, more than 130 journal articles in a wide range of professional journals, 20 book chapters, and numerous reports.

Among Dr. Steadman's major current projects are the National GAINS Center for Evidence-Based Practices in the Justice System; the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Mental Health Court Study; National Institute of Justice Women’s Brief Jail Mental Health Screen Study; SAMHSA’s Technical Assistance and Policy Analysis Center for Jail Diversion; and the NIMH Adult Mental Health-Criminal Justice Cross-Training Curriculum Development Project.

Dr. Steadman received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sociology from Boston College and his doctorate in sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Among the major awards Dr. Steadman has received are: the Amicus Award from the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law (1987); the Philippe Pinel Award from the International Academy of Law and Mental Health (1988); the Saleem A. Shah Award from the State Mental Health Forensic Directors (1994); the award for Distinguished Contribution to Forensic Psychology from the American Academy of Forensic Psychology (1998); and the Isaac Ray Award (1999) from the American Psychiatric Association for his outstanding contributions to the psychiatric aspects of jurisprudence.

Reverend Peter G. Young Reverend Peter G. Young has dedicated his life to serving people with addictions. He is the Volunteer CEO of Peter Young Housing Industries and Development in New York. Beginning with his parish at St. John’s Albany’s South End, Reverend Young ministered to the homeless and addicted. Seeking ways to help them in their struggles, he started a soup kitchen and shelter there. Reverend Young also worked as Chaplain at Albany County Jail and Mount McGregor Correctional Facility for 33 years. Reverend Young was able to motivate a group of inmates to form an Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment (ASAT) Program. His programs are based upon the "Wounded Healer" concept--the belief that those suffering from addiction, and who have succeeded in recovery, can best extend a hand to the next man or woman and help that person to begin the process of recovery.

Gaining a better understanding about addictions from the men in ASAT program, Reverend Young developed his three-legged-stool concept of recovery, known as T.H.E. Program: capital "T" for treatment, the most important aspect of recovery, "H" for housing, and "E" for education. Reverend Young has also been fighting on the forefront of the AIDS epidemic as it has made its way through New York State. Seeing the increasing number of addicted persons inflicted with the HIV virus, Reverend Young assisted in securing the first apartment house dedicated to persons with HIV/AIDS. Within the last year, he has opened three houses in Brooklyn and Queens which provide positive forces of recovery for paroled individuals returning home. Reverend Young has had a tremendous impact not only on the lives of many people he touched but also on how the State of New York has responded to the drug and AIDS epidemic.

Mary Fallin Lieutenant Governor Mary Fallin has been making history in Oklahoma since 1994 when she was elected the state’s first female, and first Republican, Lieutenant Governor.

Since 1995, she has worked to promote economic growth and increase economic opportunities for Oklahomans. In the cabinet-level position of Small Business Advocate during Governor ’s administration, Fallin championed the cause of small business in Oklahoma and took on issues such as the rising cost of health insurance and alleviating excessive government regulation.

On the national level, Fallin served as the National Chair of the Aerospace States Association and has served as Chair of both the Republican Lieutenant Governors Association and the National Lieutenant Governors Association.

For her service, Fallin has been honored with many awards, including Women in Communication’s Woman in the News Award, induction into the Oklahoma Woman’s Hall of Fame, the National Federation of Independent Business’ Small Business Advocate Award, Clarence E. Page Award/Oklahoma Aviation Hall of Fame, Education Advocate of the Year, and the 1998 Woman of the Year in Government by the Redlands Council of the Girl Scouts. In addition, as a state representative she was named 1993 Legislator of the Year by the American Legislative Exchange Council. She is a two-time honoree of The Journal Record’s 50 Making a Difference award.

Fallin has served on the boards of the United Way of Oklahoma City and YWCA. After the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in 1995, Fallin led efforts to raise money to rebuild the YMCA Daycare Development Center in downtown Oklahoma City. She has also served as honorary chair of the Organ Donor Sharing Network and as co-chair of the Festival of Hope, an event organized to promote mental health and wellness.

W. A. Drew Edmondson W. A. Drew Edmondson was District Attorney in Muskogee for 10 years before being elected Oklahoma’s Attorney General in 1994. In 1998, he was re-elected without opposition, only the second Attorney General in our history so honored. He was re-elected in 2002 to a third term.

Edmondson’s term in office has been marked by high activity on many fronts, from environmental protection to death penalty appeals. He has taken strong action in a number of public corruption cases. His Public Utility Section won record refunds and rate reductions for telephone, gas, and electric services. In 1996 he filed and then led to successful settlement the case against the tobacco industry, the largest civil settlement in history. Edmondson was one of eight state attorneys general who negotiated the end result, which will bring Oklahoma $2.3 billion over the next 25 years.
