abstract="Pandemics pose unique risks to people in correctional facilities. Among other vulnerabilities, incarcerated populations often have high rates of mental disorders  and substance use disorders, which may increase risks for morbidity and mortality  during a pandemic. California's San Quentin State Prison (SQSP) experienced multiple  outbreaks during the 1918 influenza pandemic, and, a century later, the prison faces  a new pandemic. This Open Forum describes the modification of mental health services  in SQSP during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors explore the  challenges of reducing risks of viral contagion while maintaining high-quality  mental health care in a correctional setting.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
