Go to jail or go to mental health treatment? | Solutionaries

A groundbreaking mental health program in Miami-Dade County diverts those with mental health issues from jail to treatment. This initiative, known as the Criminal Mental Health Project, has successfully reduced arrests and recidivism. Despite its success, the program faces challenges in nationwide implementation due to funding constraints, but it offers a promising model for other jurisdictions seeking to address the intersection of mental health and law enforcement.
