Re-incarceration/Re-Hospitalization Sample Outcome: Forensic Intensive Case Management - 2006 Objective: Reduce rates of re-incarceration for Manos program mentally ill offenders released from jail or prison by 25%. Of the 371 patients admitted to the Manos Program, 23 were re-incarcerated for a 6.2% rate. This compares to a re-incarceration rate of 67% for mentally ill offenders without the intensive case management services offered by the jail diversion program. Objective: Reduce rates of hospitalization for Manos program mentally ill offenders released from jail or prison by 25%. Of the 371 patients participating in the jail diversion program 12 were hospitalized after diversion for a program rate of 3.2%.

    11. Dr. Johnsrud - Findings In the last decade, persons with mental illness accounted for 7% of all police contacts, 16% of prison inmates, and 7% of the entire jail population. As a percentage of total county revenues, Bexar County spends approximately 75% of all public funds on law enforcement, detention, and the justice system. As much as 14% of the Bexar County jail population is estimated to have a mental illness. Interim results of the program show over 1,700 diversions from jail incarcerations during state Fiscal Year 2004, potentially resulting in an estimated range of $3.8 million to $5.0 million dollars in avoided costs within the Bexar County Criminal Justice System.
