The Corrections personnel overview for FY ending June 30, 2026 and the FY26-27 budget analysis describe recent and proposed staffing changes that impact medical, behavioral health, and reentry services at the jail. Reclassifications in the current year converted an unfunded Mental Health Clinician II to a Mental Health Clinician I and created a Reentry Specialist at pay grade C14, with an estimated first-year cost of 100,575.25. Proposed FY26-27 reclassifications would convert one Correctional Specialist II to two Corrections Licensed Clinical Social Worker positions at pay grade C15, with an estimated first-year cost of 71,835.78. Additionally, four previously unfunded Correctional Officer positions are reinstated, costing about 372,284.16 including benefits. These moves show Corrections’ push to expand in-house clinical and reentry capacity, which often triggers additional needs such as contracted psychiatric services, specialty clinical programs, training, and behavioral health IT tools. Healthcare and reentry service providers can engage Corrections leadership about how new LCSWs and clinicians will be supported, what external partners they plan to use, and where outside providers can fill gaps in specialized treatment or reentry programming.
