Sacramento County will host a public Jail System Planning Listening Session on Monday, Jan. 26, as part of an ongoing effort to improve its jail system and meet obligations under a federal consent decree.
The session will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 7001-A East Parkway, Sacramento, CA 95823, in Conference Room 1. Community members are invited to share feedback and perspectives on how the County can strengthen care for incarcerated individuals and improve outcomes within the jail system.
Residents can RSVP or sign up to receive email updates about future opportunities to provide feedback by visiting tinyurl.com/SacJailPlan.
The listening session is part of Sacramento County’s Jail System Master Planning Process, led by the County’s Public Safety and Justice and Health and Human Services Agencies, in partnership with consultant Health Management Associates (HMA). County leaders are seeking community input to inform planning decisions and identify opportunities for system-wide improvements.
While all community perspectives are welcome, the County is especially encouraging participation from individuals who have personal or familial experience with the Sacramento County Jail. Feedback is being sought on topics including medical care, behavioral health services, disability accommodations and support for successful reentry into the community following release.
Attendance is limited, and advance registration is required. RSVPs will be accepted until noon on Jan. 26 or until capacity is reached. Water and snacks will be provided for attendees.
For questions, community members may contact the Public Safety and Justice Agency at PSJA@SacCounty.gov.
