Four social workers staff the social services unit of the Office
of the Public Defender. Social workers assist attorneys in gathering
information from and about clients in criminal and juvenile cases,
and in facilitating dispositions of cases that serve the client’s
interests. Most commonly, social workers assist in obtaining non-jail
residential placements and out-patient programs in the areas of
substance and alcohol abuse, and in mental health services. Social
work services are provided only for Public Defender clients.
The Public Defender Social Services Staff are based
at the Garrahy Courthouse (401 458-3480)
