Travis County Commissioners received presentations from local criminal justice entities and advocacy groups on July 31. From possession of marijuana to public intoxication, the county is seeking to reduce jail bookings, emergency room visits and detention for individuals who do not need costly medical and/or criminal interventions. Commissioners reviewed the criminal justice asset map---which details the county-wide, combined efforts to divert people from jail---and received an update on the Austin & Travis County Sobering Center---a forthcoming center to assist intoxicated individuals with immediate sobering needs.
