Although many studies have investigated the disproportionate representation and negative experiences of justice-involved persons with mental illness (MI), we know less about probation/parole revocations among this population. Using statewide data and propensity score matching, we compare rates of rearrests and revocations between individuals with and without MI and assess the effectiveness of Specialized Mental Health Supervision (SMHS) in reducing the likelihood of revocation. In addition, we examine whether the risk score composition differs among participants of the SMHS program from clients with MI not placed on SMHS. Findings reveal that persons with MI are more likely to have a revocation, specifically for technical violations. In addition, SMHS does not significantly lower revocations after controlling for other caseload characteristics. Finally, those with higher risk scores were significantly less likely to be placed on SMHS caseloads. Considerations for SMHS implementation are discussed
