The Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) administers general appropriation funds to continue the pilot Jail Mental Health Programs (JMHPP) at six local and regional jails. These programs provide mental health services for individuals housed in their facilities.
This program, which is financed by a state appropriation and administered by the DCJS, supports prerelease and post-incarceration professional services and guidance that increase the opportunity for, and the likelihood of, successful reintegration of adults upon release from prisons and jails into local communities. PAPIS programs are incorporating research-informed recidivism reduction services into service delivery, with specific focus areas of assessing clients for risk and needs related to recidivism, evidence-based cognitive-behavioral programming, and job readiness and employment services. As a key element for successful reintegration of returning clients, employment placement services are emphasized in the scope of service delivery by potential grant recipients.
Residential Substance Abuse Treatment programs provide individual and group treatment activities for offenders in residential facilities that are operated by state and local correctional agencies.
