Sample Script: Thank you Supervisor _______ for your commitment to investing in alternatives to incarceration. As a stakeholder in your district, I am deeply troubled that the County has been moving forward with construction of a jail by another name, the “Mental Health Treatment Center”. We can close Men’s Central Jail without building a new jail through decriminalization, diversion, pretrial reform, and community-based care. I strongly urge you to vote ‘YES’ to cancel jail construction next Tuesday and continue building on the County’s visionary work for alternatives to incarceration.
