He came in, there's an intake unit that you go into the intake unit for 72 hours so they can observe you, especially when you're coming from the psychiatric hospital.

The psychiatric hospital, again, is overseen by the Department of Corrections. The jail is overseen by the county sheriff department.

I'm going to stay by myself, which meant he was very isolated, very like not healthy for anybody, any human being. Like he didn't have interactions with anyone. He was in a cell by himself, essentially 24 hours a day. Whereas before at the psychiatric hospital, he could walk around. There was TV. He had a TV in his room.
