Jail Diversion committee
One of the primary focuses of the TBHLT is the diversion of certain offenders with mental illness from incarceration. To address the many issues of jail diversion, the TBHLT created the Jail Diversion Committee.
Jail Diversion Committee Composition
This group is comprised of members from the Judicial Branch, the Grayson County District Attorney's Office, the Grayson County Sheriff's Office, Community Supervision (Probation), and the Texoma Community Center.
Unprecedented Cooperative Effort
The TBHLT is emboldened in our core value of community collaboration in regard to jail diversion.
One of the components of the Jail Diversion Committee is the Criminal Justice Sub-Committee. This group is exploring collaborative solutions and alternatives to incarceration for certain offenders with mental illness.
