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 also requires a report within 60 days assessing feasibility, costs, and comparing approaches for implementing CRT, potentially through Thriving Mind South Florida or other means. This aims to address mental health needs, reduce delays, and shorten detention periods for individuals awaiting treatment, as state facility capacity is often exceeded.
