FLAGLER SHERIFF’S OFFICE RECEIVES $530,000 GRANT TO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH CARE
FOR INMATES


PROGRAM WILL HELP 25% OF INMATE POPULATION WHO HAVE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

A $530,000 federal grant was awarded to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office to
provide mental health care for inmates. It’s a grant that Sheriff Rick Staly
said is imperative for a community that lacks resources for those with mental
health and substance abuse issues.


FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – A $530,000 federal grant was awarded to the Flagler
County Sheriff’s Office to provide mental health care for inmates. It’s a grant
that Sheriff Rick Staly said is imperative for a community that lacks resources
for those with mental health and substance abuse issues.

“If we can stop the revolving door, that would be my preference,” Sheriff Rick
Staly. “Many of the people that get arrested, the root cause is a mental health
issue or addiction issues.”

Chief Daniel Engert, the Chief of Court and Detention Services gave News 6 a
tour of the facility on Thursday. He said the grant is designed to help inmates
by providing medical screening, counseling, and medication. Inmates will also
continue to receive those services once they’re released.

“The goal of this grant is to create a program where we can deliver services in
house while they’re in jail and hand them off to the community provider for
continuity of care that extends beyond their incarceration. That’s where we hope
to see a difference in the pattern of behaviors that often times, you know,
return,” Chief Engert said.

Chief Engert said the program will help 25 percent of the inmate population who
have mental health issues and of that 25 percent, he said 77 percent suffer from
substance abuse disorders. It’s the latest initiative at the Flagler County
Jail. The other recently launched program is called Inside Out Dad, which helps
men and shows them how to become better fathers.

“It’s a rigorous program. It’s 14 weeks long. It makes the inmate really assess
themselves, look at themselves and how their actions affect their children,”
said Sheriff Staly.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said the goal inside the jail walls goes
beyond housing criminals, but giving people a second chance at life, through
mental health care and life skills.

“If we can improve inmate outcomes, we improve our communities,” Chief Engert
said.

The sheriff’s office said the mental health program will start next year.
