What is an RSS feed?
RSS, an acronym for "Really Simple Syndication,” is a way for websites to distribute
content updates to users. RSS updates, or “feeds,” are delivered through an RSS reader,
which can be part of your web browser or can be installed on your computer. RSS content
can also be sent to personal webpages such as a Yahoo or iGoogle page.
How do I subscribe to a RSS feed?
To subscribe to an RSS feed, click on the RSS icon and then click on the Subscribe
link or button that will appear at the top of your browser page. If your preferred
browser does not allow you to subscribe to an RSS feed directly, you can download
and install a news reader. Many readers are available for free and can be easily
downloaded over the web.

Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction Bill Headed to President's Desk
Senate Passes the Reauthorization of the Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction Act
S. 2304 reauthorizes the Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction Act (MIOTCRA) for an additional five years at $50 million per year. The bill also expands training for law enforcement to identify and respond appropriately to individuals with mental illnesses and supports the development of law enforcement receiving centers to assess individuals in custody for mental health and substance abuse treatment needs. MIOTCRA, PL 108-414, created the Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Grant Program (JMHCP) in 2004 to help states and counties design and implement collaborative efforts between criminal justice and mental health systems.
