Once the information is in the system, an electronic notice pings Johnson County Mental Health staff when someone who is considered at-risk is released from jail. The screening is intended to flag inmates who are at-risk of mental health issues, and the data is entered into a digital information system the county uses. During the booking process, inmates answer six questions about symptoms of serious mental illnesses as well as medication and in-patient mental health care history. Notre Dame’s Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities conducted a study on the jail mental health screening that’s been implemented at Johnson County Jail - through a partnership between the Sheriff’s Office and Johnson County Mental Health Center - since November 2016.
