Mikeyy,

There was some interesting research done in Vancouver a few years back. They found that 60% of incarcerated people have a history of brain injury. They postulate that the brain injury may be part of the cause of the behavior that led to incarceration.

As brain injury can effect personality, memory, cognition, and especially success in an educational setting, these findings are not surprising.

Unfortunately, the Canadian health system did not appear to respond to the needs of the brain injured. This lack of services to brain injured is pretty much the standard all over the world.
