NORCOR And Feds Talk Mental Health Possibilities

NORCOR and federal Department of Justice officials are talking about bringing more of a mental health component to the four-county regional jail facility.  Local stakeholders and federal representatives held an initial mapping session two months ago, with another planned for this month.  Hood River County Commission Chair and NORCOR board member Ron Rivers says the goal is to change incarceration at the regional jail to help people get better.  Rivers noted this kind of program could also bring in revenue for NORCOR by making it available to other counties.  He did emphasize the four NORCOR counties don’t have the money to establish it, and the federal government would have to provide some kind of grant to make it happen.
