Yet isolation is still practiced in psychiatry and our prison system, and we k<strong>no</strong>w that<br />
many inmates have FASD.<br />
Successful therapeutic and c<strong>or</strong>rectional services will never be developed until the<br />
generalized executive dysfunction and stuck-in-set perseveration of FASD are<br />
understood, and the connection between the two ack<strong>no</strong>wledged; as in the three executive<br />
functions described by Miyake and Friedman.<br />
K<strong>no</strong>wledge of the neuropsychological and sens<strong>or</strong>y profiles of the individual will always<br />
be necessary.<br />
While safety of the public is paramount it should <strong>no</strong>t exclude successful interventions<br />
based upon k<strong>no</strong>wledge of generalized executive dysfunction, set shifting and stuck-in-set<br />
perseveration.<br />

“My life I <strong>no</strong> longer love I’d rather be set free above<br />

No m<strong>or</strong>e caged up Ashley Wishing I were free<br />
Free like a bird”<br />
