Bill Lange, CIT Team Manager – [email protected] Mental Heath Court Since 1990’s Over 130 Courts Nationally Have Been Developed Most are adult criminal courts Have a separate docket dedicated to persons with mental illnesses Divert criminal defendants from jail into treatment programs Some courts monitor the defendants during treatment and have the ability to impose criminal sanctions for failure to comply The Cook County Model Target population: • All voluntary admission to program • Works exclusively with MI felony offenders • 24 month probation • Four phases of treatment • State of Illinois Division of Mental Health open cases • Generally non-violent, non-sex offenders • Economically disadvantaged • Co-occurring substance use disorder Unique Program Features Primary Focus: Community Case Management Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) – Chicago Police Department Clinical Emphasis-Multidisciplinary Team Sanctions-based system that keeps the mentally ill offender (MIO) out of jail/prison and in community services Open state mental health cases: services are paid through Medicaid Focus on high-risk clients: felony probationers The Process as of Now (What we are finding reality to be) The program individuals have: • Much more extensive criminal backgrounds (compared to a 7 year review of Cook County drug court participants) • Much more extensive psychiatric histories (including major Axis II Personality Disorders) • Few, if any, community resources with adequate funding to service the level of care needed Criminal Justice History of Program Participants at Admission 40 35 30 25 Males Females 20 Total 15 10 5 0 Average Total Arrests Average Felony Arrests Average Total Convictions Average Felony Convictions Average Prison/Probation Criminal Activity Pre- and Post-Admission 5 4.5 4 3.5 3 Males 2.5 Females Total 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 Average arrests 1 year prior to admission Average convictions 1 year prior to admission Average arrests 1 year after admission Average convictions 1 year after admission In Custody Days and Costs Average Jail Costs Average Days in Custody 140 $9,000 120 $8,000 $7,000 100 $6,000 80 $5,000 60 $4,000 $3,000 40 $2,000 20 $1,000 0 $0 Average days custody year prior to adm Average days custody year after adm Average jail costs year prior to adm Average jail costs year after adm Increase Public Safety For all 139 participants: 75% reduction in arrests 78% no felony arrests 91% no felony conviction Average days in custody went from 112 to 11.5 following a new arrest (annualized) Graduates For the first two graduating classes: 100% no felony arrests 100% no drug crime arrests 93% decrease in total convictions Average time in custody fell from 74 days to 3 hours (per year) Related costs from $9,559 to $14 What we have learned about recovery Recovery takes time It is not linear 1st 3-6 months crucial People who do well seem to turn a corner at around 12-15 months The 24 month probation time frame is short for probationers to accomplish all we want them to CJS has made significant adjustments (also from the drug court model) How does the Mental Health Court Team evaluate probationers’ progress? New arrests Drug test results Compliance with probation conditions, including engagement in treatment Progress toward work and/or school Attaining stable housing What does CIT have to do with all of this? CIT officers are the “muscle” for the mental health court judges CIT officers strive to serve MH Court warrants within 48 hours of issuance CIT officers appear in MH Court to testify after warrant has been served CIT officers call this “ongoing diversion” New Initiatives HBT/SWAT School Patrol/SVU Officer training Advanced CIT Training Autism Suicide Mental Health Court Warrant Procedures Veteran PTSD/TBI/Justice Involved Chicago Police Department Crisis Intervention Team Lt.
