Under Local Law 84 of 2015, the Department of Correction reported that 92 incarcerated people awaited transfer to the custody of state health, mental health or developmental disability agencies during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 (January 1 to March 31, 2022), after courts designated them unfit to proceed.
The table shows each person's initial admission, designation date, discharge date and facility, days since designation and total days in city custody. Waits after designation in this quarter run as long as 69 days, and the longest total stay in city custody was 1,856 days.
