Alternatives to Incarceration Project

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION UPDATES

On October 2021, the Board of Supervisors directed County staff to collaborate with justice and health partners, service providers, and community members, including people with lived experience in the justice system, to develop recommendations to safely reduce jail populations and promote alternatives to incarceration.  

The County of San Diego has partnered with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to analyze incarceration trends; identify priority populations to focus on; analyze the needs, gaps, and barriers faced by justice-involved individuals when accessing needed services; outline best practices from other jurisdictions; solicit community input throughout the project; and develop a set of recommendations based on the data and feedback collected.  More information on research and reports through the Alternatives to Incarceration project can be found on SANDAG's ATI Website.

On May 23, SANDAG will present its Final Comprehensive Report to the Board of Supervisors. County staff on that date will present related recommendations to the Board of Supervisors for supportive services and County actions to prevent people from entering jail or re-entering jail.
