This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether PRISMA, a four-session mental health program, can help people who are held in pretrial detention feel better and cope with stress. PRISMA teaches practical skills like stress management, problem-solving, and how to build social support. The program is designed to be delivered quickly—within the first two weeks of detention—so people can benefit from it before they're released.
People in pretrial detention often experience high levels of anxiety, depression, and psychological distress, but they rarely receive mental health support. This trial wants to see whether offering this treatment early can improve mental health and help people stay well after they leave jail.

If you join this study, you will be randomly placed into one of two groups. One group receives the PRISMA program—four sessions during your first two weeks in detention that cover stress management, problem-solving, meaningful activities, and planning for staying well. You'll also get two follow-up sessions at 4 and 9 weeks after the program ends (usually after you've been released). The other group receives standard pretrial detention services without the extra mental health program. Researchers will measure your mental health and wellbeing throughout the study.
