Lessons Learned From Three Mental Health Diversion and Post-Release Programs: Conducted Pursuant to SR 125 of 2003

Publication year: 2007 | Cataloged on: Nov. 23, 2007
ANNOTATION: The "fiscal impact of three mental health diversion projects and . . . the desirability, viability, and appropriateness of encouraging similar programs throughout" Pennsylvania are determined (p. S-1). Summaries of studies funded by Senate Resolution 125 are: "Chester County Simulation Planning Tool for Jail Diversion: Projecting Costs and Savings"; "Justice, Treatment, and Cost: An Evaluation of the Fiscal Impact of Allegheny County Mental Health Court"; and "Mental Illness and Reincarceration Among Persons Released From Pennsylvania State Prisons to Philadelphia Locations in 2001." These programs did not yield significant cost savings.
