Nearly three months after county supervisors got what one might call a statistical splash of cold water about who’s sitting in the county jail — and who perhaps shouldn’t be — the county’s Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) is now inching toward a formal diversion strategy.
On Wednesday morning, consultants with RDA presented community feedback on a draft Strategic Jail Diversion Action Plan, while Good Samaritan updated officials on its justice-involved housing expansion. This planning process is a required, ongoing part of the county’s Public Safety Realignment framework, which is updated annually.
The draft plan aims to reduce recidivism, expand diversion programs, and strengthen partnerships with the Superior Court before individuals cycle deeper into the system.
