GEORGIA - COVINGTON -- Newton County will have its first mental health court beginning in July. The goal of the court is to identify people with mental health problems who are in jail or subject to being sentenced to jail and to supervise them and provide treatment so they can safely function in society, according to Superior Court Judge Samuel Ozburn. The court will be funded by the state, and Ozburn is also applying for a grant from the Department of Justice.

Only non-violent offenders who have been diagnosed with a mental disorder are eligible, and must enter a guilty plea and be ordered to complete mental health court as a condition of their sentence.
