Jail diversion recovery services contracts
Carteret County
Summary
The county jail holds about 160 people in a facility built for 114, so diversion programs matter. The Board approved contracts with Loaves and Fishes and The Miriam on 4-2 votes, but Commissioner Shinn wants proof the existing Southeastern Integrated Care contract is actually being used before adding more providers.
