# Adult diversion program *A county attorney's adult diversion program, recorded in one Minnesota at-issue pair from the project's Sherburne package.* The adult diversion program appears in this record as [[Kathleen Heaney]]'s program as [[county attorney]]. Its only documented output is a count: in 2020 it referred four people.[^1] The project's at-issue record places that count beside a figure from the same county's jail. Across what the record calls the jail's nineteen-year run, the jail under [[Sheriff Joel Brott]] averaged 131 ICE detainees a day. The record attributes both numbers to the two officeholders' own filings.[^1] ## What The record identifies the program by the officeholder who ran it: County Attorney Kathleen Heaney.[^1] The record has no statute, charging policy, eligibility rule or program description for it. It therefore does not establish who was eligible, how referrals were made, or what a referral entailed.[^1] ## How many - **2020:** the adult diversion program referred four people.[^1] - **Jail, across its nineteen-year run:** an average of 131 ICE detainees a day under the [[sheriff]], Joel Brott.[^1] The record does not establish whether the two figures measure comparable populations. It gives no start or end dates for the jail's nineteen-year run.[^1] ## In the at-issue record At-issue pair AI-Sherburne-003 sets the prosecutor's count beside the jail's count: four people diverted in 2020, and an average of 131 ICE detainees held a day.[^1] Its named sources are the *Heaney_Brief* and the *Sherburne_Jail_Brief*. The pair anchors the comparison to a March 2025 White House presidential action on eliminating information silos.[^2] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki at-issue record, *AI-Sherburne-003* (Sherburne package; named sources *Heaney_Brief* and *Sherburne_Jail_Brief*, from hometownsource.com and lrl.mn.gov) — states the four 2020 adult diversion referrals and the 131-a-day average ICE detainee population, both attributed to the officeholders' own filings.
