This article presents an interorganizational approach to the assessment of jail mental health programs, a growing area of concern in the aftermath of state mental hospital deinstitutionalization. Two interorganizational variables—program auspice and program location—are investigated as predictors of the amount of interagency conflict and the perceived effectiveness of safety and service goals associated with the delivery of mental health services in 33 U.S. jails. The results reveal a number of trade-offs between various interorganizational arrangements suggesting that there is "no one best way" to organize services. Findings are discussed in relation to program planning, emergent policy issues, and further research.
