Scope and Content: The Division of Legal Medicine was established in 1956 to provide psychiatric services to courts and correctional institutions and to ensure that persons who came into contact with the criminal justice system received needed mental health care.  An adult after-care clinic was responsible for treating and evaluating, on an outpatient basis, persons who had recently been paroled or discharged from correction facilities whether such treatment was a condition of parole or was voluntarily requested.  Adult after-care clinic case files were created to provide a record of the treatment and psychiatric evaluation of these persons.
