COMPETENCY RESTORATION TGK/CHS

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-556-26, directing the County Mayor or designee, through the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department (MDCR), to take necessary steps to make Competency Restoration Treatment (CRT) available to certain incarcerated individuals within MDCR facilities. The resolution requires a report within 60 days assessing feasibility, costs, and comparing implementation approaches, including options through Thriving Mind South Florida or other means. This aims to address delays in CRT due to limited state facility capacity, where inmates often wait 4-6 months for placement. The treatment may be provided at the Pre-trial Detention Center, Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, or Metro West Detention Center.
