Board reviews July 8 mental‑health snapshot: about 30% of inmates showing current symptoms
The Lycoming County Prison Board reviewed a mental‑health snapshot taken July 8 showing mental‑health status across the county jail system. At that date the system held 287 inmates: 252 males and 35 females. The board was told that of the total population, 86 inmates (29.97%) were classified as having current mental‑health symptoms and 10 inmates (3.48%) were classified as experiencing serious mental illness.

The report broke the figures into roster categories used by staff: roster A (no mental‑health history) had 118 inmates (41.11%), roster B (past history, no active symptoms) had 73 inmates (25.44%), roster C (current symptoms) had 86 (29.97%), and roster D (serious mental illness) had 10 (3.48%). The snapshot was explicitly dated in the report as July 8.

The board also received data on psychotropic medication dispensation by site. At the pre‑release center the presenter reported 38 males on the day of the snapshot, nine of whom were receiving psychotropic medication (23.68%). Eleven females were at the pre‑release center that day and five were receiving medication (just under 50%). At the main prison site, of 187 male inmates 82 were receiving medications (43.85%); of 21 female inmates at the prison, eight were receiving medications (38.1%). The presenter summarized the system‑wide percentages and provided totals for the pre‑release center and overall system.

No policy changes or programmatic actions were proposed on the public record during that item; board members did not request immediate policy votes during the discussion. The numbers were presented for informational review.
