In 2022, after a meeting with social workers who provide services to the jail, the City learned that many of the jail inmates have scheduled beds for treatment. Those appointments can be 1-3 days post release. In the intervening days some inmates re-offend, i.e. shoplift food, because they do not have the means to support themselves. This results in a subsequent arrest and yet another booking into the jail.
