We’ve  All  Experienced  this  Crisis  in  One  Way  or  Another  

County  is  ready,  but  is  it  able  to  deal  with  mentally  ill?  

Mentally  ill  inmates  at  Franklin  County  Jail  stay  longer  

Inmates  with  mental  health  issues  inundate  Pima  County  Jail  

Nearly  a  third  of  county  inmates  require  drugs  for  mental  illness  

Mentally  ill  Mainers  are  s,ll  warehoused,  but  now  it’s  in  jail  

Johnson  County  Sheriff:  Mental  health  is  number  one  problem

Factors  Driving  the  Crisis  

Longer  stays  in  jail  and  prison  

Limited  access  to  health  care    

Low  u,liza,on  of  EBPs    

Higher  recidivism  rates    

More  criminogenic  risk  factors    

Dispropor,onately  higher  rates  of  arrest
