The DBH Jail Diversion Program (JDP) - Links persons at the DC Jail and CTF with
mental health services while detained and upon their release. Defense attorneys and
others concerned with the mental health of an inmate are encouraged to call JDP Rosalyn
Williams at (202) 698-0416, to learn which services the inmate is assigned to and ensure
that he is connected with appropriate mental health services. If housing is needed the
consumer will receive “priority” placement on the DBH housing waiting list. JDP
conducts a daily audit of the DOC census to identify DBH consumers. When a jailed
DBH consumer is identified, the JDP worker contacts the consumer and asks whether he
would like to be connected to mental health services. JDP informs the mental health
agency of consumer’s incarceration.
