Douglas County residents are invited Monday to the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St., to learn about a potential jail expansion and mental health crisis intervention center project and to offer their input, said County Administrator Craig Weinaug.

From 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the County Commission chambers, officials will share what information they’ve analyzed thus far in the process and ask the public to share their thoughts.

“It’s not going to be a meeting where we’ve got any conclusions or recommendations, but we will present the data we have so far and our analysis to begin the process to determine what needs to be designed or done,” Weinaug said.

Douglas County is currently researching how to best react to rising inmate populations and a greater demand to provide mental health care services to inmates in the county jail.

The project’s scope has yet to be precisely determined, but officials expect an expansion of the county jail and the construction of a separate intervention center, where nonviolent inmates can be diverted away from the jail for mental health crises or substance abuse problems.

“We want people that care about these kinds of issues, regardless of their position, to show up (Monday) and go through the information and analysis that we’ve done and provide us with questions and input to help us on the next steps,” Weinaug said.
