    <content>The Chatham-Savannah Mental Health Court is a judicially supervised program that targets individuals who, because of an untreated mental illness, have come in contact with the criminal justice system.  The program does not excuse offenders of their criminal responsibility, but rather ensures that non-violent offenders do not remain in jail longer simply because of a mental illness.  The program combines intensive case management and enhanced supervision to make certain that participants (1) have access to the recommended treatment/services, (2) engage in the treatment/services, and (3) are held accountable when they do not comply with program requirements.   </content>
