Search the Program Profiles

This directory of Program Profiles identifies and describes programs, policies, and other initiatives designed to improve the response to people with mental illness who come into contact with (or are at risk of coming into contact with) the criminal justice system. Developed at the local, state, or national level, these efforts are administered by a vast array of government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit companies. The directory is maintained through a collaboration between the Council of State Government's Criminal Justice / Mental Health Consensus Project, The National GAINS Center for Evidence Based Programs (EBP) in the Justice System, and The GAINS TAPA Center for Jail Diversion.

Issue Area Programs are assigned an issue area based on the agency or organization with primary responsibility for the program. For example, a program in which a jail works with community-based mental health providers to identify and treat detainees with mental illness would be listed as "Corrections: Detention." Programs with Relevant Legislation This field denotes programs that were created by, or have some relationship to, state, or federal legislation.

Level of Jurisdiction The level of jurisdiction describes the unit of government at which the program operates. For example, a state department of corrections administering a transition planning program at a correctional institution is listed as "state"; a nonprofit service provider operating a pretrial services program for a county court system is listed as "county."
