North Carolina expands jail-based competency restoration to Wake County
North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services expanded its NC RISE jail-based competency-restoration program to the Wake County Detention Center, funded through part of an $835 million statewide behavioral-health investment package that includes $99 million earmarked specifically for justice-involved mental health services.
Prior data from a Mecklenburg County pilot of the same program showed an 82 percent restoration success rate in about 50 days, compared with 140 or more days for traditional hospital-based restoration — among the strongest outcome data for jail-based restoration found anywhere in this backfill.
