I know that the 3 pods were completed in December, and officials hoped the ‘mental health’ pods will open by late February or earlier March. Therefore a second day or longer should be required in case you want to ensure a smooth transition, Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Casey Roebuck said.

Transferring process inmates with mentally illness to the pod started Monday morning and was expected to conclude that evening.

In the shorter term, however, the pods are being used to temporarily hold ‘generalpopulation’ inmates while their own pods are cleaned and serviced.

Actually the Tulsa World previously reported that about 40 Tulsa percent Jail inmates have a mental illness, two percent of whom have a self-assured mental illness. Meanwhile, a date for opening the 1 pods not specializing in mentalhealth care has not been established. Roebuck said an average of 40 those percent incarcerated in Oklahoma suffer from mental illness. However, a hotline had been established for family members of inmates housed in ‘mentalhealth’ pods to get information about their respected ones or provide information about their medic history. You should make this seriously. So a decline in inmate numbers lessened the need for special key population areas, and jail officials have mulled options for their longterm use. Now let me tell you something. I’m sure that the Sheriff’s Office has looked with success for itself at a considerable center number of civil rights lawsuits, a bit of which involve the alleged mistreatment and neglect of inmates with ‘mental health’ problems.

Need for improved mental care at Tulsa Jail was a warm pic for a couple of years. Tulsa Jail staff have begun moving inmates into one of 1 modern mental health pods at the facility, more than a month after they originally were slated to open. Complications with finding and hiring detention officers to staff pods delayed the start date. Roebuck confirmed Monday that the jail has hired a sufficient number of detention officers and supplied them with specialized mentalhealth training, though she did not see what amount had been employed. That said, sheriff Vic Regalado said earlier this year that Sheriff’s Office had about 30 openings for detention officers, 20 of which needed to be filled before pods could open.
