United States
The United States has experienced two waves of deinstitutionalization. Wave one began in the 1950s and targeted people with mental illness.[82] The second wave began roughly fifteen years after and focused on individuals who had been diagnosed with a developmental disability (e.g. Intellectual Disability ).[82]
A process of indirect cost-shifting may have led to a form of "re-institutionalization" through the increased use of jail detention for those with mental disorders deemed unmanageable and noncompliant.[83] In summer 2009, author and columnist Heather Mac Donald stated in City Journal, "jails have become society’s primary mental institutions, though few have the funding or expertise to carry out that role properly... at Rikers, 28 percent of the inmates require mental health services, a number that rises each year."[84]
