I hope none of the Correctional Deputies were injured during this altercation. Smells like gang fight to me.

Assault and battery is not an appropriate charge. It should be mutual combat and charges related to conduct while incarcerated.

The add on is only going to be utilized for treating adult mental health issues. Not for housing. FYI.

No way! That is awesome! So needed in this county. I hope it leads to helping people get better instead of just incarceration and then release. I’m sure it will!
