An inmate, Robert Palmer, at another facility received a disciplinary transfer for assaulting another inmate. Palmer is being transferred to the high-security penitentiary at which you work. Upon entering the office where the intake assessment will take place, Palmer declares that you have power because you are the forensic mental health professional. He states that you need to recommend that he be allowed to live in a single cell (celled alone) or else he will kill himself.

In this assignment, you will study a case scenario involving the intake of an inmate transfer. Then, you will formulate assessment questions, develop diagnostic impressions, and prepare a report that effectively communicates treatment and other relevant recommendations within a correctional environment.

Review the following scenario:

An inmate, Robert Palmer, at another facility received a disciplinary transfer for assaulting another inmate. Palmer is being transferred to the high-security penitentiary at which you work. Upon entering the office where the intake assessment will take place, Palmer declares that you have power because you are the forensic mental health professional. He states that you need to recommend that he be allowed to live in a single cell (celled alone) or else he will kill himself.

Palmer has a history of various psychiatric diagnoses, including schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and malingering. His psychological records show that he has been on a suicide watch at previous institutions due to engaging in self-mutilation and had engaged in highly frequent disruptive behavior at the special housing unit (segregation unit) where he was housed.
