What is the focus of DQ-2?

The focus of DQ-2 is on Medical Isolation and Psychiatric Housing. This aspect is crucial in the detention environment as it addresses the needs of inmates who may require specific medical attention or have psychiatric issues that necessitate isolation from the general population. The implementation of such housing ensures that inmates who pose a risk to themselves or others due to mental health conditions receive appropriate care in a controlled setting.

This focus on medical isolation and psychiatric housing highlights the importance of mental health treatment within correctional facilities, emphasizing safe and effective management of inmates with mental health issues. It aligns with broader correctional policies aimed at providing comprehensive healthcare and ensuring that human rights are respected within detention environments.

The other areas, while important in their own right, focus on different aspects of inmate care and management, such as day-to-day supervision, substance abuse programs, or physical therapy. However, DQ-2 specifically addresses the critical needs for isolation and psychiatric care, making it essential for maintaining safety and promoting mental wellness among the inmate population.
