USA. SF Advances RESET Sobering Center, Over Concerns of Unlawful Detention
San Francisco is moving forward with plans to open a controversial sobering center, despite warnings that courts would likely consider the city liable for operating an unlicensed detention center. On February 17, Mayor Daniel Lurie (D) signed legislation that authorizes a $14.5 million contract with Arizona-based Connections Health Solutions to run the Rapid Enforcement, Support, Evaluation and Triage (RESET) center, which has been described by Sheriff Paul Miyamoto as “like a big drunk tank that’s not a jail.” (Filter, USA, 20.02.2026)
