22 counties filed a lawsuit against the Washington Department of Social and Health Services. 

At issue: the state’s ability to provide mental health services for what are classified, “civil conversion patients.”

The lawsuit is the latest in a years long struggle to provide mental healthcare for people who interact with the criminal justice system.
