What it does

This legislation would require the Department of Correction to enhance reporting of jail population statistics to include information on people in custody who receive treatment for mental illness or have a serious mental illness. The legislation requires that reporting on these portions of the jail population be disaggregated by race, gender, co-occurring substance use disorder, reported homelessness upon arrest and discharge, and whether a Single Point of Access application has been submitted to the department of health and mental hygiene or any other city agency.
