Court Ends Oversight in California Jail Mental Health Case
Original: Court Ends Oversight in Landmark Case over California's Failure to Treat Mentally Ill People in Pretrial Detention
A court has ended its oversight role in a landmark California case over the state's failure to provide mental health treatment to people awaiting trial in jail. The ACLU of Northern California, which has been involved in the long-running litigation, announced the development. Civil rights advocates have long argued that unconstitutionally long waits for treatment leave pretrial detainees in custody without adequate care.
Why now: The end of court oversight in a long-running case over mental health care in California jails is a significant development for civil rights advocates.
