A view of Jackson, Wyoming, and the Teton Range on Monday, Aug. 15, 2022. A Teton County judge in Wyoming is ordering some chronically unhoused people to get on a bus from Jackson and travel to Salt Lake City, according to a news article by the Jackson Hole News & Guide.
If a homeless person is experiencing a mental health crisis, they’re usually taken to a hospital for treatment or partnered with an organization such as the Salvation Army to find a place to go, Ruschill told the news organization. An attempt by The Tribune to reach the judge Thursday morning was unsuccessful, with an assistant in their chambers saying he’s not available. A clerk with the Teton County Circuit Court subsequently said the judge is traveling.
