In addition to King County Criminal Justice Initiatives, there are two state funded managed by King County programs that serve inmates identified as “dangerously mentally ill” who are due to be released from a Washington State Prison. A Dangerous Mentally Ill Offender (DMIO) is defined by the State of Washington as a person with a mental disorder who has been determined to be dangerous to self or others.
The two King County programs are:
Community Integration Assistance Program (CIAP) formerly known as the Dangerously Mentally Ill Offender Program (DMIO)
Mentally Ill Offender-Community Transition Program (MIO-CTP or 6002 Program).
Eligibility
Personnel within the Department of Corrections identify eligible inmates and refer them to a Washington State Review Committee for the CIAP program, or the local community review team for the MIO-CTP program. Once approved by either committee, King County’s designated local mental health providers engage inmates in pre-release treatment services and continue to provide services after the inmate is released from prison.
