Mental Health Staffing. The jail remains in substantial compliance with the provisions in this section. As of July 2016, there were no mental health staffing vacancies. As described above, the jail has hired five additional reentry counselors to focus on group programming and discharge planning for DOC inmates. Between this staffing addition and all of the other improvements in recent years, the jail mental health program has outgrown its physical plant. The jail is aware of this problem, noting that 60% of all visits to the medical department are now due to mental health concerns (i.e. visits to the social worker, psychiatrist, or psychiatric nurse). The Warden and Medical Director have identified a long-term plan to move the medical department into the area currently occupied by the jail’s kitchen, but the necessary renovations have not yet begun.
