The Council of State Governments Justice Center is seeking organizations and local governments willing to sign onto a letter urging Congress to reauthorize the Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction Act (MIOTCRA), which provides grants to State and county governments for the treatment of mentally ill offenders and prisoners. MIOTCRA received $12 million in fiscal year 2010 and the Justice Center hopes to maintain that level of support for fiscal year 2011.
