Working to change jail s mental health status
HOUSTON – A local program aims to divert people with mental illness from the Harris County jail to a center for mental health treatment.
“I was told that he had a panic disorder. He couldn’t be alone,” said former Harris County Judge Ed Emmett.
Emmett’s father lived with mental illness his entire life.
“If he looked less than a mid-level oil company employee, he would’ve been arrested for vagrancy. He would’ve been one of those people in the jail,” Emmett said.
