Each year, millions of
Americans are incarcerated
due to poorly managed
mental health.
It’s time to promote Mental Health and Freedom
over Punishment and Incarceration
The Equitas Project unites and educates leaders, advocates, and communities working to
improve health outcomes, preserve public safety, and save taxpayer dollars.
We can do better together.

Facts Everyone Should Know:
Every year
12 MILLION
people are
incarcerated.
Prison populations
are at their lowest
since 1996
yet the
United States still
incarcerates more people
than any other nation.
More than
80 Percent
of the 12 million people
serving time in any given
year are doing so for
mental health and
addiction issues.
States with greater
access
to mental health
services have fewer
incarcerated adults.
