"Mental health courts differ from one another on at least four 
dimensions: the type of charges accepted (felony or misdemeanor), the 
type of adjudication model employed (pre or post-plea), the type of 
sanctions used (jail or no-jail), and the type of supervision imposed 
(mental health or criminal justice personnel))."
