The Jail Diversion Programs divert
individuals with mental illness and often co-occurring disordes in
contact with the justice system from jail and provide linkages to
community- based traetment and support servies. The individual thus
avoids or spends a significantly reduce time in jail and/or lockups
on the current charge or on violations of probation resulting from
previous charges.
Currently there are 1,373 hours
in the OMB inventory. The program is requesting 1,225 hours. This
program change is due to the reduction of 148 hours which includes
the burden related to the addition of the six FY2006 Grantees and
anticipated two FY2007 Grantees, as well as the burden related to
the inclusion of additional trauma sections to the interviews
administered by the FY2006 and anticipated FY2007 Grantees. The
reason that the burden decreases, instead of increases, due to
these additions is because the average burden includes a decreasing
number of Grantees participating in the evaluation across the four
year period.
