The disregard of public health services towards drug addicts, the mentally ill and the homeless in the United States implies that every year there are more of them behind bars. Prison serves as a repository of the human waste of a society, one that is increasingly subject to the dictatorship of the market. Their fate provides tragic experimental verification of the hypothesis that there is a functional and causal link between the impoverishment of the welfare state and the prosperity of the penal state.

Abstract: Over the last few years, a growing number of mentally ill offenders has been involved in New York City criminal justice system (NY, USA). The effects of de-institutionalization and the enforcement of a “zero tolerance” policing, are among other reasons, responsible for the criminalization of this population, leading to a massive incarceration of mentally ill offenders in New York city jails and state prisons. The importance attached to health and social care within the correctionnal facilities show the attention heeded to “mentally ill” offenders in general. The lack of discharge planning in the city jails and the persistence of the “revolving door” phenomenon have yet given rise to innovative approaches, making the New York experience a place worthy of serious study.

This article explores the way neuroscientists call for the "deconstruction" of the classifications of mental disorders as we know them, in order to provide solutions to the slowdown of therapeutical innovation in psychiatry. It is based on the case study of the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) project of the US National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). My purpose is to show that neuroscience interested in mental disorders offers narratives of innovation, transformation, and desirable futures that are at the heart of the ambitious current research projects and influence them. I approach the versions of the futures proposed by the promoters of translational psychiatric neuroscience in terms of productivity at the scientific, epistemological and socio-political levels., (Copyright © 2015 Académie des sciences.
