Three Wyoming sheriff's offices join jail mental health hold reimbursement program

Original: Three sheriff’s offices sign up for jail mental health hold reimbursements under new Wyoming law

Three Wyoming sheriff's offices have signed up to be reimbursed for mental health holds carried out in their jails under a new state law. The program shifts some of the cost of detaining people in mental health crises from county budgets to the state, and other sheriff's offices may follow as the rollout continues.

Why now: A new Wyoming law on reimbursing jails for mental health holds has just taken effect, prompting counties to enroll.
