  11. Initial Baseline Results • Estimated number of individuals who are incarcerated and would meet the criteria to enter the mental health court program (MHCP) was found to be 3% or 423 of the individuals being arrested (14,072) • Of those 423, 152 are also dealing with a substance abuse problem • Re-arrest rate after being released from jail was 33.9% within 6 months and 44.3% within 12 months after released.

  12. Informative or Process Evaluation Results • Implementation was as planned, with strong commitment on the part of key stakeholders, management, and staff. • Part of the satisfaction is the ability of the program to be flexible to meeting each individual client’s needs. • There is an increased need of awareness of the program, especially for private attorneys was identified • The number of clients surpassed the estimations, to the point of the case manager / client ratio has passed what was set in the manual which was 20 clients per case manager.

Outcome Evaluation Results • The re-arrest rate for 6 months after the program for those who completed the program was 17% compared to the baseline of 33.9%, and the rate for 12 months after the program was 22% compared to 44.3%. • The average number of days to re-arrest for those in the study group who were re-arrested was 96 days, while for the comparison group the average number of days to re-arrest was 52 days.
