    Yavapai County News – The Yavapai County Reach Out Program is making a
    difference in the lives of individuals at high risk for substance use disorders (SUD), mental
    health concerns (MH), and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE). By connecting individuals to
    essential services after they leave the Yavapai County Detention Center, the program is helping
    reduce the chances of re-offending and providing support for those in need.

    Between March 2022 and February 2024, the Reach Out Program worked with 13,071
    individuals who interacted with Reach Out Release Coordinators at the Yavapai County
    Detention Centers. The program focuses on connecting people to services such as addiction
    treatment, mental health care, and support for past traumatic experiences.

    Program Highlights:

    • Of those who completed the screening:
      • 50% of individuals disclosed moderate to high risk for mental health needs, and
      • 48% disclosed moderate to high risk for substance use disorders.

    Recidivism Rate at 24 Months: The overall rate of individuals returning to the criminal
    justice system within 24 months was 18.1%. This means that just under 1 in 5 individuals
    reoffended with a new charge.

    Recidivism* by Time Period:

    • At 6 months, 11.7% of individuals reoffended.
    • At 12 months, 15.4% of individuals reoffended.
    • At 18 months, 17.2% of individuals reoffended.

    This shows that the Reach Out Program is successfully helping people stay on a better path after
    release, with fewer individuals returning to jail or prison over time. It should also be noted that
    while Yavapai County’s population increased by 9% since 2017, the jail’s average daily
    population decreased by 8 ½ %.

    Connections to Services:

    • 3,619 individuals (27.7%) were referred to community services that support their
      recovery and well-being.
    • 2,389 individuals were successfully connected to services such as addiction treatment,
      mental health care, and other support programs.

    The Reach Out Program is designed to support individuals after their release from jail, providing
    a lifeline for those who need it most. By connecting them to the right resources, the program
    helps reduce the risk of re-offending, increases public safety, and gives people the tools they
    need to improve their lives. Reach Out is dedicated to building healthier, safer communities by
    assisting people to overcome challenges and break the cycle of incarceration.

    From Protest Signs to Missiles: Why Peace Needs Teeth
    .By Tommy Acosta

    As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
