Research The Bexar County Jail Diversion Program: Measuring the Potential Economic and Societal Benefits Policy Report Michael Johnsrud, PhD Sponsored by the Associate Director Center for Health Care Services The Center for Pharmacoeconomic Studies Robert L. Jimenez, M.D., F.A.P.A Chairman The University of Texas at Austin Leon Evans, President and CEO December 2004

Slide 23

Dr. Johnsrud - Findings In the last decade, persons with mental illness accounted for 7% of all police contacts, 16% of prison inmates, and 7% of the entire jail population. As a percentage of total county revenues, Bexar County spends approximately 75% of all public funds on law enforcement, detention, and the justice system. As much as 14% of the Bexar County jail population is estimated to have a mental illness. Interim results of the program show over 1,700 diversions from jail incarcerations during state Fiscal Year 2004, potentially resulting in an estimated range of $3.8 million to $5.0 million dollars in avoided costs within the Bexar County Criminal Justice System.
