A Transition Planning Program, composed of registered nurses and case managers, will coordinate detainees with serious medical and mental health conditions, return to the community. These plans will target stability of their chronic and acute diseases as well as mental health conditions. The plans will be in collaboration with the courts and their disposition plans. Successful return to the community includes medical and mental health services along with working with partners for needs such as treatment, housing, insurance, transportation etc.
