Local leaders commit to 100-day deadline to overhaul mental health services.
Countywide, those that have the power to mitigate a growing mental health crisis agree: It can’t be done within the criminal justice system.
The jail is not only unsuited to provide mental health care, but the sheriff’s office is in the midst of a full-blown staffing crisis, despite investments in pay and recruitment. said she supports the plan because “as this population keeps growing, it’s very difficult for [staff] to take care of the amount of people with mental health designations.
Though the details of design will be worked out in this 100-day challenge period, Brown likes Nashville’s model, where people complete a stabilization period of 14-30 days in a diversion center and their charges are expunged at the end. He says diversion could also help people already in jail and awaiting competency restoration needed to stand trial or get a plea agreement. Some have been waiting in the jail for two years due to an egregiously long state hospital backlog.

Young, wild and free: Wolverine spotted in California for only second time in last 100 yearsA wolverine was spotted three times last month in the eastern Sierra Nevada, a rare occurrence for an animal that’s only been seen one other time in California over the last 100 years. That's according to state wildlife officials. While wolverines are native to California, they’ve been essentially extinct from the state since the 1920s — likely the result of hunting and fur trapping in the decades following the gold rush, though records from the time don’t indicate what exactly caused the population to decline. The latest wolverine appears to be a young male seeking a mate. The animal has been spotted twice in the Inyo National Forest and once in Yosemite National Park.
