State backing accountability court growth
Bulloch has only Mental Health Court after Drug Court stopped
Bulloch County Seal W
Eleven people have graduated so far from the Bulloch County Mental Health Court program during its first three and a half years, avoiding prison and staying in treatment, completing courses on coping skills, and complying with other requirements. They constitute one-third of the 33 felony and misdemeanor defendants who were accepted and agreed to participate, out of 139 reviewed for admission from September 2013 into February 2017. With 16 current participants, the Mental Health Court is now the only active accountability court in Bulloch County.
