Bill overview
The Get Justice-Involved Veterans BACK HOME Act aims to improve the mental healthcare provided to veterans incarcerated in the United States. It establishes a pilot program for mental health services within correctional facilities, prioritizing veterans with service-connected disabilities like PTSD or traumatic brain injury. The bill also mandates the creation of dedicated housing units for veterans in federal prisons and ensures automatic resumption of veterans’ compensation payments upon release from incarceration. Finally, it requires the Department of Justice to collect and analyze data on incarcerated veterans to better understand the issue.
