He'd been sent for competency restoration. He'd been sent to a forensic hospital for a little while. You know, we had bonded him out, but instead of bringing him home. But all of his care at this point, once he was arrested, was in the hands of the Department of Corrections. So there was no opportunity to get him meaningful care.

And he'd broken his bond when he was out because he was experiencing psychosis. Yet he was never getting treatment. Every time the psychosis, while he was incarcerated, would exacerbate he would be put in solitary confinement, which only makes psychosis worse.

So when you're living in incarceration, when you have an exacerbation of your illness, your brain illness, you're subjected to a strip search and then you're brought to the infirmary. So it's very traumatizing for the person who is experiencing the episode and then you're put in solitary confinement.

He was not given any antipsychotic medication. His father and I advocated for him through the system for three and a half years. It took three and a half years for him to get medication that would treat a psychosis. And then once he was given medication, he was given medications like a cocktail of medications that interacted with each other and he became very toxic and got very, very sick.

So this was his experience from 18 to 21 and so just before his 22nd birthday. And then when he turned 22, he was transferred to another prison and there that has a population that is mostly people with serious brain illnesses in our state. And when he got there, He was so sick. He was toxic. They ran blood work on him and saw how sick he was.

that state of torture now for over a year, but he is still living in incarceration. So his illness, because he really was not able to act in his own best interests, you know, for the first few years.
