Studies estimate that over 350,000 inmates with severe mental illness are housed in our nation’s
jails and prisons.
Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) operates the 12th largest jail system in the U.S. where many
inmates arrive with mental health and substance abuse problems. Within the 4 jails in the BSO
system, about 32% of the inmates are prescribed psychotropic medication.
Modeled after the country’s first CIT program in Memphis, BSO uses their Crisis Intervention
Team to assist with pre-booking diversion of offenders with mental illnesses. BSO identifies
inmates who need behavioral health assistance and provides them with stabilization and
rehabilitation while they are incarcerated.
This session will allow participants to virtually enter BSO and its jail system to better understand
the programs for behavioral health and social services, and the community collaborations and
referrals offered.
At the conclusion of this course, the participants will be able to:
Explain the process of assessment and evaluation of inmates in the BSO jail system
Cite the programs and services that may be available to inmates and the criteria used
to determine an inmate’s treatment plan
Discuss the Crisis Intervention Team’s role in arrest, incarceration or diversion
Examine how mental illness is treated and managed within the jail environment
Offer their clinical services to BSO for appropriate referrals
