EMR countries showed, on average, a reduction in the prevalence of psychiatric beds from low numbers, while more people were imprisoned over the past three decades. The availability of forensic psychiatric beds and residential facilities has remained limited. These findings suggest a gradual shift in the EMR from institutional psychiatric care toward increased reliance on incarceration, paralleling trends observed in other global regions like Latin America and Central Eastern Europe and Central Asia
