Jail Diversion

    0.01 sec.
Jail Diversion
A general term for those programs that divert individuals with serious mental illness (and often co-occurring substance use disorders) away from jail and provide links to community-based treatment and support services. The individual thus avoids arrest or spends a significantly reduced time period in jail and/or lockups on the current charge or on violations of probation resulting from previous charges
