Jail Administration

A short rushing sound leaped out of the boat; it was the darted iron of Queequeg. Then all in one welded commotion came an invisible push from astern, while forward the boat seemed striking on a ledge; the sail collapsed and exploded; a gush of scalding vapour shot up near by; something rolled and tumbled like an earthquake beneath us. The whole crew were half suffocated as they were tossed helter-skelter into the white curdling cream of the squall. Squall, whale, and harpoon had all blended together; and the whale, merely grazed by the iron, escaped.

Case Study: Franklin County Jail 

THE PROBLEM:

Access to specialty healthcare is limited in Florida’s rural jails and prisons, and that healthcare can be a critical factor in an inmate’s overall health and rehabilitation.

THE SOLUTION:

Big Bend Community Based Care partnered with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office to put an LTI kiosk in their county jail. The kiosk allows inmates to meet with counselors, psychiatrists, and other specialty doctors without leaving the jail or a doctor having to travel to the jail’s relatively remote location.

THE RESULTS:

Using LTI’s telehealth portal has allowed us to help inmates who are suffering from addiction and receive services they otherwise could not receive in our small community. Franklin County Sheriff AJ Smith
