Encore | The Definition of Insanity, Part 1

Precinct 444: The National Law Enforcement Museum Podcast

Join Precinct 444 for this revisiting of the special PBS documentary The Definition of Insanity. The film chronicles the Miami-Dade Criminal Mental Health Project, an innovative prison diversion program. The Definition of Insanity illustrates how one local judge’s novel approach to solving the mental health crisis could be the model to tackle the much larger epidemic throughout America.
In this first part, you will be introduced to our panelists and learn about their roles within the Miami-Dade Criminal Mental Health Project, how the project began, and what role local law enforcement plays in implementing the project.
