Support Services section of their budget, for up to 12 months. The following are the
treatment status options:
i. Deceased – In the event of death of the individual post-release.
ii. In Treatment – Individual is engaged in community based treatment
services as recommended in the transition plan.
iii. New Crime/Regressed - Individual returned to jail for violations or
Exhibit A-2
Page 12 of 31
Docusign Envelope ID: 3468EF68-E175-4812-A229-4A4314FF7114
committed a new crime.
iv. Not Applicable - Individual sentenced to Department of Corrections,
Probation, Community Corrections, or treatment status not applicable at
month two, six, or 12 due to prior tracking status of Deceased, New
Crime/Regressed, or Treatment Completed.
v. Not in Treatment – Individual is reported by the community based
treatment provider as not in treatment or the individual reports to not be in
treatment services as recommended on the transition plan.
vi. Status Unknown – Individual cannot be located.
vii. Treatment Completed – Individual has completed treatment as
recommended in the transition plan.
b. Recidivism. JBBS aims to decrease the rate of reincarceration of former JBBS participants.
This approach is intended to result in greater treatment engagement in the community and
decreased recidivism through better identification and treatment of behavioral health needs.
BHA may conduct an annual analysis of recidivism. The following will apply to this analysis:
i. JBBS participants who have received treatment services or groups will be
included in the recidivism analysis.
ii. “Recidivism” is the analysis that will be defined as re-arrest and reincarceration for
a new crime or a technical violation related to the individual's original charge.
iii. Recidivism Target. Programs will ensure that data in the JBBS Database pertaining
to the most recent complete fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) is verified and correct by
the 15th of July following the fiscal year so that the recidivism analysis may be
completed by BHA.

mental health and substance use disorders or co-occurring disorders; as well as transition
case management services to people who need such services while they are in jail. The
Jail Based Behavioral Health Services (JBBS) Program has been operational since October
2011 with funding from the Correctional Treatment Cash Fund pursuant to Section
18-19-103 (5)(c)(V).
The goal of the JBBS Program is to provide appropriate behavioral health services to inmates
while supporting continuity of care within the community after release from incarceration.
This approach shall result in greater treatment engagement in the community and decreased
recidivism through better identification and treatment of behavioral health needs.
In October 2012, the Correctional Treatment Board voted to fund additional Jail Based
Behavioral Health Services Programs to additional counties across the State. As of
February 2023, there are JBBS programs in 48 county jails across the State of Colorado.
In May 2018 the Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 18-250, which mandated
the JBBS Program under Colorado Revised Statutes 27-60-106. Additional mental health
funding was allocated to the JBBS program to address gaps in services for mental health
disorder screening, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. Additionally, these funds may
support psychiatric prescription services and purchase of medications. Sheriff’s Departments
that currently operate JBBS programs, as well as new applicants, are eligible to request these
funds. Sheriff’s Departments may submit an individual application, or they may submit a
combined application if they would like to apply in conjunction with other County Sheriff’s
Departments.
To carry out the JBBS program, Sheriff’s Departments may partner with local community
provider(s) who can demonstrate the ability to provide services within the jail, and the
capacity to provide or link individuals released from jail to free or low cost services in the
community.

Health Treatment, or JBBS/Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT).
ii. The Purpose will include what you hope to accomplish by providing JBBS services in
your facilities.
iii. The Timeline will be July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026
2. Put Your Work Plan Into Context
i. This should include an introduction and background of the facility’s JBBS program.
ii. Write an introduction and background to better outline why you need this project
to happen. Creating context and establishing the problem, helps explain why you need
the solution. Examples could include an increase in substance abuse usage, increase in
mental health disorders, increased jail population, high recidivism rates, Colorado
state statute requirements, etc…
iii. Describe the overall goal of the JBBS program. Examples can include who is eligible

iv. If the facility is a new JBBS program, please include a brief summary of how and
why JBBS services will be implemented into your facility, and what you hope to gain

upon their release from jail, OR, if there are limited services available in your area,
highlight this as a potential barrier.
iii. Which recovery support services (RSS) are most needed in your community and/or
catchment area and how will the provider or Sheriff’s Department use a portion of
their budget to meet these needs?
