With jail stays capped at seven days, prosecutors fear a dangerous “catch and release” cycle for the mentally ill, risking public safety and delaying critical treatment. District attorneys from major counties are sounding the alarm, calling for immediate state action — including expanded hospital beds and community mental health resources — before the court order expires. The situation is escalating as all eyes turn to Oregon’s leaders for a sustainable solution. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
