Request Title Forensic Discharge Planning in Jails
Biennium 2020-2022
Budget Round Amended Bill
Half Sheet Number 322 #1c
Description

This amendment restores $2.1 million the second year from the general fund to expand forensic discharge planning services at three additional jails with a high percentage of inmates with serious mental illness. The General Assembly provided $1.6 million from the general fund in fiscal year 2020 for discharge planning services at two local jails. Discharge planning includes linking inmates with serious mental illness to community providers for treatment and housing and other needed services as they transition from jails to the community. These funds were included in Chapter 1289, 2020 Virginia Acts of Assembly, but subsequently unallotted in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eliminated in Chapter 56, 2020 Special Session I Virginia Acts of Assembly.
