While the issue of mental health and its intersection with the criminal justice system has gained traction in recent years, there remains a limited examination of the full remit of offenders with disabilities and cognitive impairments in prison, and the ways in which punishment is utilized to respond, control and contain these individuals’ lives. The rising over-representation of people with mental illness, disabilities and/or cognitive impairments in the criminal justice system and in prisons in particular is a global trend, often explained simply by the absence of or decline in appropriate mental healthcare over time. However, such surface explanation has allowed for certain troubling notions about the “underlying nature” of people with mental illness, disabilities and/or cognitive impairments to gain traction. This Special Issue sought to challenge this common articulation of “the reason” for the high rates of people with mental illness, disabilities and/or cognitive impairments in our criminal justice system and recognize that these intersections of mental health, disability, cognitive impairment and criminal justice represent a “maelstrom,” that is “a situation or state of confused movement or violent turmoil” (Oxford English Living Dictionary, 2017). This Special Issue brings together scholars in the midst of this maelstrom; scholars who are seeking to make sense of and bring to the fore the turmoil of the shifting sands of criminal justice, punishment and health policy
