Those standards and procedures must address screening and classification,

psychotropic medications, suicide prevention, qualifications of staff, staffing
levels, staff training, discharge, linkage and aftercare, the confidentiality
of mental health records, and such other issues as are necessary to ensure that
inmates with mental illness receive adequate and humane care and services.
(b) At least once each year, the Department of Corrections must inspect each county jail
for compliance with the standards and
procedures established. At least once each year, the Department of Juvenile Justice must inspect each juvenile detention facility for compliance with the standards and procedures established.
The results of the inspection must be made available by the Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, for
public inspection. If any county jail or juvenile detention facility does not comply
with the standards and procedures
established, the Director of Corrections or the Director of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, must give notice to the county board
and the sheriff of such noncompliance, specifying the particular standards and
procedures that
have not been met by the county jail or juvenile detention facility. If the county jail or
juvenile detention facility is not in
compliance with the standards and procedures when 6 months have elapsed from
the giving of
such notice, the Director of Corrections or the Director of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, may petition the appropriate court for
an order
requiring the jail or juvenile detention facility to comply with the standards
and procedures established by the
Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, or for other appropriate relief.
