Story Behind the Curve
The Mental Health (MH) Caseload report includes anyone identified as needing to be followed by a MH clinician due to MH medications, prior MH history, or current MH symptoms. The VT DOC healthcare contractor through licensed providers makes the medical determinations for who meets the criteria for being on the mental health caseload.
In FY24 (July 2023-June 2024), there was a monthly average of 865 patients on the mental health caseload. This average number of patients on a mental health caseload represents 69.8% of the average total in-state incarcerated population in FY24.
