A Midwestern Jail aimed to establish a “best practice” suicide prevention system, but was limited by structural layout. The jail collaborated with Falcon to resourcefully implement an intervention system which involved comprehensive but efficient suicide prevention processes. This entailed a step-down system with a transitional unit for vulnerable or mentally-ill inmates, creative but sound Classification approaches in monitoring special management inmates, and practical solutions to obstacles that hindered overall program success.

A Department of Juvenile Justice Facility sought solutions to proactively manage disruptive Youth in restrictive housing. Our collaboration strove to develop and implement a treatment-intensive evidence-based program that integrated concepts of positive behavior interventions. Designed to step-down Youth to less restrictive housing, this program successfully applied behavioral interventions and cognitive restructuring in a safe and secure environment. The need for confinement was markedly reduced. Central to Youth motivation was the provision of more “normative” housing alternatives which supported education and interpersonal growth.

Due to overcrowding and significant increases in their inmate population, an East Coast County facility expanded their bed capacity by building a new jail structure. Through collaborations, Falcon assisted this county with a “built environment” to facilitate the management and treatment of their mental health and substance abuse populations. A variety of critical design elements were addressed including: streamlining and management of high-risk populations, normative, supportive milieus, unit/pod features, programming, and operational considerations. Enhancing inmates’ readiness for reintegration, these design considerations will ultimately increase the County’s potential to impact recidivism.

To alleviate overcrowding due to expanding mental health and substance abuse populations, a Southwest Detention Facility sought solutions to reduce jail census by at least 30 percent. Through collaboration, Falcon assisted in the development and implementation of an innovative diversion and re-entry model to serve as a one-stop Agency or Outpatient Center for all inmates meeting program inclusion. Designed to offer a continuation of medical and behavioral health services, this center would make available physical and behavioral health assessments, triage, stabilization, medications, community referrals, tracking, plus counseling and re-entry groups.
