Abstract
Following a decade-long challenge involving long wait times for offenders with mental illness awaiting mental competency and evaluation hearings, Washington state health officials and advocates said they are pleased with the much-needed improvements in decreased wait times for those hearings. Additionally, a new behavioral health facility is slated to open in 2025 in response to the increasing demand for people in jail waiting for competency services.
