(Portland, OR)  --  The Portland Mayor's Office is exploring a jail alternative for the city.  It would be a space for those who are arrested on non-violent misdeeds related to mental health or addiction.  Mayor Wheeler's senior aide says they want to find a better place to put mentally ill or drug-addicted people than the Multnomah County Detention Center.  He says it would better allow health care professionals to connect people in crisis with services.
