National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) Reports

A nonprofit organization, NCCHC Resources, Inc., works to strengthen NCCHC’s mission: to improve the quality of health care in prisons, jails and juvenile detention and confinement facilities. The jail has worked with the organization in the past to conduct an assessment of the jail's suicide prevention program and, more recently, requested that the organization return to the facility in 2022 to evaluate the progress to date.

The goals of the project are to safely reduce the population of the jail and reduce racial and ethnic disparities in the criminal justice system. Like with the Jail Collaborative, the Warden of the Jail is an active and engaged participant in the county's effort.
