SAN JOSE — Backed by the passionate urging of South Bay criminal-justice reform advocates, Santa Clara County leaders are moving ahead to replace a five-years-in-the-making jail project with a rehabilitation center focused on mental-health treatment, and gave themselves a 10-month deadline to come up with a concrete plan for the facility.

Between now and September 2021, the board of supervisors are aiming to commission feasibility studies, revise an in-progress bidding process, rework a federal consent decree, and meet with residents and community leaders to shape the vision for the new proposal.
