The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will use the FY 2009 Justice and Mental Health Collaboration funding to expand existing in-­‐jail therapeutic services for offenders with mental illness and/or co-­‐occurring substance use disorders. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) in collaboration with Special Service for Groups (SSG) is the largest sheriff’s department in the United States responsible for managing and securing approximately 19,000 inmates in eight custody facilities. LASD Rachelle Jackson is proposing to address the high recidivism rate of mentally ill offenders by expanding current mental health and support services available to inmates prior to their transition back to the community. LASD and SSG will also expand services available to provide comprehensive jail in-­‐reach therapeutic services and individualized discharge planning to supplement the existing in-­‐jail services. The STAR program began in Marin County in 2001 and focused on incarcerated offenders with serious mental illnesses. The program's key components are: small caseloads, team approach, multi-­‐disciplinary treatment, integrated case management and crisis services, and continuation of care after release. The STAR program will expand its capacity to 1) conduct jail-­‐based assessment, planning and engagement; 2) initial case management; and 3) integrated substance abuse services.
