this, they are applying for funding to hire more staff, in different areas related to mental health and <br />substance abuse, increase training for those already working in this area, as well as all staff to assist <br />all those incarcerated whom need assistance. This type of work not only effects those who are <br />incarcerated but plays a bigger role in the communities where these people are released to. The <br />Kittitas County Jail is built for 200 inmates and typically runs with an average daily population <br />around 120. That number has decreased over the last two years because of the pandemic, but as <br />they begin to reopen towards post pandemic it has been proven that more and more people being <br />incarcerated need assistance from specific programing to ensure when they are released, they are <br />set up for success and able to become a valuable member of the community rather then reoffend. <br />Lowering recidivism is the main goal of the Kittitas County Jail to break the old mentality that jail <br />is a punishment rather than a place that someone who needs help can gain it. Their past work with <br />Comprehensive Healthcare has shown that by implementing these types of programs they can <br />increase the likelihood that someone will be released from jails with tools and programs that will <br />allow them to change their lives and better themselves, affecting those around them, and stay out of <br />the judicial system.
