Whether you work in behavioral health, public safety, or simply care about creating smarter justice systems, we’ve put together an infographic that breaks down the benefits of reducing jail populations and the essentials of jail diversion, what it is, why it matters, who it serves, and how it works.
Jail diversion is sometimes confused with related concepts like pretrial release, co-responder models, or mental health courts. While these all play a role, jail diversion is its own powerful strategy to reduce unnecessary incarceration and connect people to the support they need.
At Julota, we hope this infographic helps clarify the impact and importance of jail diversion programs. Let us know what you think and feel free to pass it along to anyone working toward reducing jail populations!
