Vol. 11 No. 1 (2026): Special Issue: Forensic inpatients story their in-hospital experience through essays, poems, lyrics, and song

Not criminally responsible (NCR) inpatients were invited to submit original works that speak to their in-hospital experience. The collection that follows is unique, as no other peer-reviewed journal, edited book collection, periodical, or activist publication has dedicated an entire themed issue to NCR inpatients, platforming their stories as sole authors and researchers of themes central to inpatient life. This curated issue is a critical corrective to address the absence of literature on NCR inpatients engaged in research on matters that matter most to them.
