(Special Offenders)
The failure to treat mentally ill offenders in Maine's jails is addressed. Parts of the full report that follows an executive summary are: introduction (2000-2002); more studies (2003-2006); joint action plan; "Corrections at a Crossroads" -- a report to Cumberland County, Maine; summary of local diversion efforts since 2000; December 2006 Jail Survey; conclusions; and a call to action. One of the nine recommendations made is that the state of Maine "must implement a comprehensive strategy for preventing the inappropriate incarceration of seriously mentally ill individuals and for diverting those individuals away from the criminal justice system" as mandated (p. 17).
