Opinion: Better legal triage at San Diego County jails would be helpful [Opinion]
” : I agree with proposals to reduce the jail population and to find alternatives to punishment. I’d also pitch for an on-site evaluation team to evaluate people coming into the system as well as those leaving.
Thus, at the sally port, law enforcement would bring an arrestee to ID and have charges presented, after which the arrestee would be booked into the jail or sent to the evaluation team for review to see if there are alternatives available .Likewise for those released from jail, rather than being given a flier listing assistance programs, they would again see the evaluation team for actual assistance, including possible housing alternatives and job placements.
