The Gwinnett County Jail in Georgia has evolved into the state's largest mental health facility following the closure of mental health hospitals in 1999. Now, about half of its 2,200 daily inmates require mental health services, presenting significant challenges for the Sheriff's Office and jail staff. This situation has necessitated a delicate balance between providing necessary mental health care and maintaining security. In response, a mental health task force was established in 2021 to improve support and training for handling mental health issues within the jail, highlighting a broader need for comprehensive mental health support in the criminal justice system.
