Reason for Recommended Action/Background
Over the past several years, there has been a steady increase in the amount of felony incompetent to stand-trial clients being referred to the Department of State Hospital for competency restoration without adequate capacity in the existing State Hospitals. This has led to a significant backlog of clients throughout the State waiting in jails for months at a time until placement can be made at a State Hospital bed. As a result, the Department of State Hospitals has been working with the State and various counties to increase statewide capacity for local treatment options. These options include Jail Based Competency Treatment programs.
On or about July 12, 2022, the County entered into an agreement with the State of California, Department of State Hospitals (“DSH”), State Agreement Number 19-79013-000 (“Yolo/DSH Agreement”), for administration of a Jail Based Competency Treatment (“JBCT”) program. The purpose of the JBCT program is to restore competency to certain felony patient inmates deemed incompetent to stand trial (“IST”) under Penal Code section 1370. JBCT program services are provided locally at the Monroe Facility rather than in a State Hospital facility.
On or about July 12, 2022, the County entered into an agreement with California Forensic Medical Group (CFMG), the current jail medical service provider for the County. CFMG is a qualified inmate medical services provider who agreed to provide services to assist the County with its JBCT program. CFMG has provided services to seven beds at the Monroe Facility. The services have been provided 24 hours per day, seven days per week, including all state holidays.
The Yolo/DSH Agreement provides funding for a dedicated Sheriff's Deputy assigned to the JBCT program. This is a critical component to a JBCT program as there are often individuals receiving JBCT services that have different classifications and require supportive oversight, and having a dedicated Deputy that receives specific training as part of the overall JBCT team increases effectiveness of the program. The Yolo/DSH agreement also provides the Sheriff Department with funding for the overall housing costs associated with these 7 beds.
The first amendment will extend the term of the Agreement through June 30, 2023, and add funding in the amount of $359,118.53 for FY 2022-23. Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows: Performance Measures are not associated with this Agreement.
